Arms of Charles Stuart, Duke of Kendal

Although he was only a grandson of a British Sovereign, by the time of his birth it had become obvious that his uncle would not have any children, so he received a coat of arms as if he were a son of the Sovereign. Said arms consisted of those of the kingdom, differenced by a label argent of three points, on each three torteaux gules.[1]
