Duchess of Cambridge

I only just recently noticed that the arms of the Duchess of Cambridge have changed slightly to give her a supporter of her own, which is not unusual at all. The Scottish unicorn is replaced with a Hind Argent unguled and gorged with a Coronet of Prince William's degree Or. Very nice. I was wondering when they'd get around to this.

A graceful supporter for a graceful lady.

Kinda boring though. I was hoping for something more exciting.

I have to agree with Ce on this one. I think it's a wonderful supporter. I think it's only this Wikimedia illustration of it that's boring.

Well, it seems just to be the badge of Joan of Kent, without anything new or exciting. It was smart of them not to give the hind a chain. Perhaps giving the hind an acorn would have been a good idea?
