Will this be Harry and Meghan’s monogram or is it just designed for the wedding memorabilia?

I read that Harry and Meghan picked and approved the designs for the memorabilia so I'd say good chance it's their monogram.

Cypher query
Hello there! Another new member here wondering if any of you kind people could help to identify the cypher on a piece of Jewellery we have?
It’s probably late Victorian period.
Many thanks in advance!

Not what I expected, but what I should have expected. Very tidy.

Doesn't it go on official correspondence of the couple, such as personal invitations they would send out, joint Christmas cards and suchlike?

Looking at Harry and Meghan's, you see a perfect blending of the H and the M where they could stand alone as an initial for either one and also enhances how perfectly blended these two people are in marriage.
Perfect, just perfect.

I agree usually joint monograms look like 2 letters thrown on top of each other but this looks well designed.
So of their wedding merchandise had very horrible joint monograms which looked horrendous (one looked like a spider) so this is a very pleasant surprise.
I've seen some people complain saying it only looks like a fancy M but if you focus you can see both letters clearly.

Mysterious Cypher on 18th-Century Needlework
Hi everyone. I'm new here. I have been researching a bit of eighteenth-century embroidery, trying to figure out what country it comes from. I noticed this cypher in the middle of it but can't identify it. Does anyone know who this cypher would have belonged to? It looks like an "R" and maybe a "E" or "B," but I'm not sure. Thanks for your help!

King Willem-Alexander uses the same W as his predecessors Willem/Wilhelmina.
In 2014 the King handed over a new standard for the Koninklijke Marechaussee (the Dutch equivalent of the Gendarmerie). In the W we can see that a sort of difference has been made:
The original W:
The new W (one can see a horizontal element in the W to visualise an A). Also in the golden "piedestal" for the lion on top, this W with a small horizontal bar is visible to make a WA: see: https://www.defensie.nl/binaries/large/content/gallery/defensie/content-afbeeldingen/onderwerpen/vaandels-en-standaarden/standaard_kmar.jpg (Click on the picture once more to blow it up).
Because the Koninklijke Marechaussee was historically a mounted force, the standard is smaller than the usual regimental standard used by troops on foot. Picture.

Any information or direction to look would be greatly appreciated. Picture of Monogram can be provided.

Monogram identification needed
Hello everyone,
I am looking for someone who can help me to identify the monogram on a pair of golden (14K) cufflinks that I have inheritated from a distant cousin. They have a ducal/royal German crown und the letters "J" (twice, mirrored) and "G" as well as a Roman 2 ("II") at the bottom. I went through the differnt German princely states at the end of the 19th century and check their rulers, but the initials never matched the G and J.
It would be great if someone out there could help me.

It is indeed a Herzogskrone. The combination JG looks like Johann Georg or something. As cufflinks are 18th C or later, it possibly was Johann Georg Herzog von Sachsen (1869-1938).
But the roman cypher possibly refers to a regnal number. Then we have a Johann Georg II Kurfürst von Sachsen, Herzog von Sachsen (1613-1680) but in that era there were no cufflinks.
A possibility: these were no cufflinks but insignia worn by courtiers (alike worn today at some Courts) and re-made in cufflinks?

See the insignia for Dutch courtiers (there these are called chiffres): http://i6.tinypic.com/833o8zm.jpg
You will see why I think these cufflinks were made from old chiffres.

Monogram on silver beaker
Hello there,
I have recently joined these forums and was hoping somebody could offer some assistance.
Attached is a monogram on a silver beaker I recently purchased. It is English with a London hallmark for 1933.
Is the engraving indeed a personal monogram? I am unable to decipher the ornate lettering and I cannot identify the crown. I assume the foliage and wheat are also if some significance.
Many thanks and best wishes

It's nothing I recognise, I'm afraid. I think you probably need an expert in the area. Maybe the assay office where the silver hallmarks were registered might be able to point you in the right direction. Good luck!
