Could someone with the proper knowledge and access to reliable sources(read: Books) write how different heraldic authorities grant badges? How does the Scottish system of crestbadges work? Are badges part of heraldic tradition in some countrys other than those of the commonwealth? Junior Woodchuck 21:47, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Prince of Wales
"The Prince of Wales's feathers, which is the badge of the Prince of Wales."
The feathers are the symbol of the heir to the English - later British - throne. They are not the symbol of the Prince of Wales as such. You can be heir without being Prince of Wales. If someone else feels it reads as misleadingly as I think it does feel free to alter before I look back again. Alci12 13:55, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
The Ostrich feathers badge is indeed the badge of the Heir Apparent to the British throne, it just so happens at present that HRH the Prince of Wales is also the Heir Apparent however it doesn't mean it will always be the case. It is incorrect to call the badge the "Prince of Wales feathers"
