Why Snowdon?[edit]

Eh? It's a mountain in Wales then what? It would be nice to see how this title relates to geography. Kortoso (talk) 20:51, 13 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arms - coronet[edit]

I would like to raise an issue with regard to the coronet used in the arms for the 2nd Earl of Snowdon. The coronet depicted is not that of an Earl, rather the Type 5 Princely coronet reserved for those grandchildren of the Sovereign through the female line. I am not saying that the 2nd Earl of Snowdon is not entitled to such a coronet, it's just a specific warrant must be issued by the Sovereign for such an entitlement to be in effect. Is anyone aware that such a warrant from the present Sovereign has been issued to substantiate the use of this coronet?Ds1994 (talk) 14:40, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that the arms image was corrected by an editor on 5 April 2017, so the coronet depicted is now that of an earl. -- Blairall (talk) 22:21, 7 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Arms - sources[edit]

Regarding the arms of David Armstrong-Jones, a discussion is taking place here. -- Blairall (talk) 00:38, 8 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
