A coat of arms has been created for Meghan Markle, now known as the Duchess of Sussex, Kensington Palace said Friday. It includes a few references to California, where Markle was born.
The blue on the shield is in honor of the Pacific Ocean and the yellow stripes symbolize the California sun, the palace said in a statement. The coat of arms also features golden poppies, which are the California state flower, and wintersweet, which is found on the grounds of Kensington Palace.
“The three quills represent communication and the power of words,” the statement added.

The duchess worked closely on the design with Thomas Woodcock, Garter King of Arms, the palace said.
Prince Harry and Markle were given the titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex on their wedding day. It was the first time someone was made Duke of Sussex since 1801.

In a world that has grown more dangerous in recent years, the nightmare scenario of a Third World War is in the public consciousness. Earlier this year, UK Defence Secretary Grant Shapps warned the world could be engulfed by wars involving China, Russia, North Korea and Iran in the next five years, and said we are moving "from a post-war to pre-war world".

MOSCOW/DUBAI (Reuters) -Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday urged all sides in the Middle East to refrain from action that would trigger a new confrontation which he warned would be fraught with catastrophic consequences for the region, the Kremlin said. Putin, who has forged much closer ties with the Islamic Republic since sending troops into Ukraine in 2022, spoke to Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi by phone about what the Kremlin called "retaliatory measures taken by Iran." Iran launched drones and missiles at Israel late on Saturday in retaliation for an Israeli strike on its Damascus consulate on April 1 that killed seven officers of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, including two senior commanders.
