The R means Regina for all queen's and queen consorts. The R in the king's name means Rex.

Their monogram is very plain but it's really nice. Does Letizia has her own monogram? I hardly see any of the Spanish royals' monograms unlike other houses. I would love to see their monogram esp. the individual monograms. I like it that the Norwegian royals created one for little Ingrid and Sverre. Does the other royal kids have their own monogram?

Christian has one:
Kongehuset - Kongehuset - HKH Prins Christian

[LadyK]

I don't think any other royal kids have their own monograms (besides Christian, Ingrid Alexandra and Sverre Magnus). Interestingly enough, Queen Margrethe, who designed the monograms for Christian, IA and Sverre (plus all their parents), hasn't designed one for little Isabella.

[Princess Robijn]

Maybe it's a Scandinavia thing to have a monogram for the kids. I was also suprised the Queen didn't design a monogram for Isabella, maybe later on.

I never knew Margrethe designed the ones of IA and Magnus!

About Isabella:
I guess she'll get her own monogram as well. Christian got his own monogram when he was a little older, too. So, I think they'll wait a while until Isabella is a bit older..

Christian got his monogram when he was around the six-month mark. This is probably because he is the direct heir after Frederik, while Isabella is the 'spare'. Bella probably won't get one until she turns 18, like her cousins Nikolai and Felix

I can't believe we have to wait until they turn 18 to see a monogram - understandable, of course, but disappointing for us royal watchers.

sgl: What does the logo for the wedding look like? I didn't know there was a logo - I thought it was just the joint monogram.

I don't think we have a thread discussing the various motto's of royal families, royal orders or individual royals thus far, so here it goes.

- Per Aspera ad Astra (Through striving, to the stars) - GD Family of Mecklenburg-Schwerin

- Avito Viret Honore (He flourishes on the honor of his ancestors) - GD Family of Mecklenburg-Strelitz

[Her_Majesty]

"Alt for Norge" (All for Norway) is the motto of the Norwegian monarchs.

[Marengo]

- Ich Dien (I Serve) - GD Family of Luxembourg AND also used by the Prince of Wales.

[ladybelline]

Could anyone tell me if the British Royal family motto, is "Dieu et mon droit" or "Honi soit qui mal y pense"?
or another one I don't know? thank you....

[MAfan]

"Dieu et mon droit", I remember...
