How are these monograms created? Are they self-created? Or is there a graphic design person who consults on the monograms? Thanks.

Graphic design - hardly. Cyphers and Royal arms are a matter of quite strict control of protocol departments. For example, in the United Kingdom, the College of Arms is the authority on the subject, with every arm, monogram and cypher having been registered there and the ability to researched there.
In the case of the Royal Danish cyphers, I understand that HM Queen Margarethe II designs them herself, and while this wouldn't exactly be a common occurance, there's no reason why, with a little consultation from the governing authorities on arms etc of that country, that every Royal could design their own (providing there wasn't already one in existence).

Does anyone else form the Belgian Royal Family have monogram? I haven seen one from Queen Paola, Princess Astrid, Prince Lorenz, Prince Laurent, or Princess Claire. Will King Albert's grandchildren create a monogram of their own?

As a graphic and heraldic designer I have always been interested in royal cyphers and as of late been asked by many wealthy patrons to design personal cyphers. I have to say if you are intersted in really beautiful ones look for the cyphers of Imperial Russia, all Grand Duke and Grand Duchessses had them (and there were a lot!) plus the use of the Cyrillic alphabet make them real design challenges. I will look through my records and post some when I find the examples.

EIIR hasn't had her monogram done in diamond brooches, so it's unlikely it's hers. The Russians, however, would have had no problem running around with their monograms in diamonds. Ekaterina is the Russian version of Catherine, so it probably is Catherine the Great's, like the previous poster stated.

On the Danish Royal Website, HH Princess Alexandra's page used to display her monogram, even several months after the divorce. I just recently noticed it is no longer displayed on the English version of the website, dispite others' monograms still being visible on their respective pages. I thought it may have been deliberate, but then checked the site in Danish and saw that her monogram is still displayed there.
![]() On the whole, the prominence of monograms seems most emphasized on the Danish and Swedish Royal Websites. |

I think the prominence of monograms is clearly emphasized on the Danish royal websites in part because HM The Queen designed them herself... and they are beautiful, indeed.
The monograms used to be featured prominently on the Swedish royal website, but I don't see them anymore. As for HH Princess Alexandra... I too noticed the same thing a few months ago and wondered if the divorce was the reason it's been removed from her personal page (although it's still on the monogram page). |
