Queen Elena of Montenegro's arms

Re: Queen Elena of Montenegro's arms
Because those are the family arms of the Princely (and later Royal) House of Petrovic-Njegos. Only the reigning Vladika/Prince/King of Montengro actually used the Montenegrin Arms of Dominion/State. A rather odd method of differencing Royal Arms (though the contemporary Austro-Hungarian Imperial and Royal House used a similar system) But a method of differencing nonetheless.
