Harry & Meghan Instrument Of Consent Signed By The Queen - Emblems Expla...









In this video we will be taking a look at: THE WEDDING OF PRINCE HENRY OF WALES AND MS.
MEGHAN MARKLE


Instrument of Consent


Buckingham
Palace has today shared an image of the Instrument of Consent, the hand-written
document which records Her Majesty The Queen's consent to the Marriage of
Prince Harry and Ms. Meghan Markle. 


 


The
Instrument of Consent is drafted by the Crown Office and is, in the case of
Prince Harry's marriage, hand-written and illuminated on vellum by one of a
panel of scrivener artists retained by the Crown Office.  Vellum is used
only for important State documents.


The
design to the left of the text incorporates a red dragon, the heraldic symbol
of Wales, together with the UK's floral emblems – the rose, thistle and
shamrock. It also features Prince Harry’s Label, including three tiny red
escallops from the Spencer family Arms.


 


The
design to the right of the ​text also includes the rose, as this is also the
national flower of the United States. To either side of the rose are two golden
poppies – this being the state flower of California, where Ms. Markle was born.
Between the flowers is the Welsh leek, together with Prince Harry’s Label.
Beneath the Label are olive branches, adopted from the Great Seal of the United
States.  


 


To
the left, underneath the two main designs, is the coronet for Prince Harry. On
the lower right side of the document is the Commonwealth symbol.


The
Instrument of Consent is sealed with the Great Seal of the Realm, which is attached to the
foot of the document by woven cords sealed within the Great Seal
itself. The Queen's signature, "Elizabeth R," can be seen at the
top right of the document, which will be presented to Prince Harry and Ms.
Markle after the wedding.


 


It
reads: "NOW KNOW YE that We have consented and do by these Presents
signify Our Consent to the contracting of Matrimony between Our Most Dearly
Beloved Grandson Prince Henry Charles Albert David of Wales, K.C.V.O., and
Rachel Meghan Markle."


NOTES TO EDITORS:


Her
Majesty formally gave her consent to the marriage of Prince Harry to
Ms Meghan Markle in accordance with the 2013 Succession to the Crown Act ​ by
making Her Declaration at the meeting of the Privy Council on the 14th March
2018. 


The
photographs were taken in the 18th Century Room at Buckingham Palace.
