again in residence it will be superseded
by th royal standard.
Th new banner shows on one half
the royal arms of the United Kingdom,
sa on the royal standard, and on the
other an "Impalement" of the arms of
th Queen s father and mother, the lata
Duke and Duchess of Teck. The ac
companying picture shows the Impale
ment on the right, the black Hons and
gashed bar of the House of Teck are
Impaled on the arms of the House of
Cambridge, the branch of the English
royal family to which the Queen's
mother belona-ed. These consist of the
royal arms "differenced" by a bar and
th old Cambridge arms on a shield.
The flag has been approved by the
King, who has always been a keen stu
dent of heraldry, and it has been duly
recorded by the klngs-at-arms at the
Herald's College. Thl latest move In
dicates the Queen Is more determined
than ever to be mistress la her court,
while rumor has It that the energetic
Queen Mother is ambitious to wield as
potent an influence as her sister, the
Dowager Empress of Russia, holds over
the royal entourage at St, Petersburg.
Th tussle promises to be a sprightly
one. but the odds or place and posi
tion, backed up by the firm will of
Queen Mary, bid fair to save her from
the lot of the unfortunate Czarina.
