"of Wales has been appointed to the Order. The Order of the Garter is represented in the coat of arms by its namesake the blue buckled garter, which bears in gold letters the motto, ""Honi soit qui mal y pense"", French for ""Shame upon him who thinks evil of it"". Under the coat of arms is a scroll bearing the motto ""Ich dien"", German for ""I serve"". The motto of uncertain origin first appeared on the arms of Edward of Woodstock, or the Black Prince. Prince Edward was created Prince of Wales by his father King Edward III on 12"
"Prince of Wales whilst outside Scotland. In August 2005, the new regimental cap badge was unveiled at the Edinburgh Military Tattoo. The design was the result of a collaborative effort, led by Brigadier Andrew Mackay, along with other serving and retired officers and Regimental Sergeant Majors, with advice from the Lord Lyon King of Arms. The new cap badge incorporates the Saltire of St Andrew and the Lion Rampant of the Royal Standard of Scotland, which are two prominent national symbols. The cap badge is surmounted by a crown, in this case the Crown of Scotland. The regiment's motto is"

"focus on Charles' core interests, including aiding disadvantaged youth, education, responsible business, improvement of the built environment, regeneration of heritage, and environmental sustainability. Most of the charities are independent of each other and all are each run by their own boards. The Prince of Wales is president of all the charities and founded 17 of them; however, as president, he is a figurehead and public face for the charities involved and has no legal responsibility. The aim of The Prince's Charities is ""to improve the overall effectiveness of the group, building on shared strengths to ensure their long term success"

"of Wales, and a banner of those arms with a green inescutcheon bearing the prince's crown is flown as his personal standard in Wales. The so-called Prince of Wales's feathers are a heraldic badge rather than a coat of arms upon a shield, but they are not Welsh in any case. They derive, in fact, from the English Princes of Wales (who may owe them to an exploit of Edward, the Black Prince at the Battle of Crécy) and carry the motto """" (German, ""I Serve""). In any event, they do not form part of the Royal Arms, as opposed"

In a speech to the Low Carbon Prosperity Summit in a European Parliament chamber on 9 February 2011, Charles said that climate change sceptics are playing ""a reckless game of roulette"" with the planet's future and are having a ""corrosive effect"" on public opinion. He also articulated the need to protect fisheries and the Amazon rain forest, and to make low-carbon emissions affordable and competitive. In 2011, Charles received the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds Medal for his engagement with the environment, such as the conservation of rainforests.

"of Welsh archers, it is also sometimes said to have been Edward's pride in the men of Wales which led him to adopt a symbol alluding to their assistance. The mediaeval German motto ""'"" (""I serve"") is a near-homophone for the Welsh phrase ""'"" meaning ""Your Man"", which might have helped endear the young Black Prince to the Welsh soldiers in particular. Again, however, there is no historical evidence to support this theory. In 1917, during the First World War, it was rumoured that the motto might be formally changed to """"Eich Dyn"""" to avoid the use of German. The"

The legend, which first appeared in 1614, has been proved to be false. John was succeeded as King of Bohemia by his eldest son Charles (later Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor).

Several Welsh representative teams, including the Welsh rugby union, and Welsh regiments in the British Army (the Royal Welsh, for example) use the badge or a stylised version of it. There have been attempts made to curtail the use of the emblem for commercial purposes and restrict its use to those authorised by the Prince of Wales.

The supporters used with the badge are two Cornish choughs, each holding an ostrich feather, and the motto is ""Houmout"" (meaning ""high-spirited"") the personal motto of the Black Prince. There are several charges and tinctures (colourings) used frequently in Cornish heraldry. These are derived mainly from Cornish royal and national symbolism. Many Cornish families from ancient times bore mottoes in the Cornish language, many of which were recorded in the 17th century. The practice of using Cornish language"

"The Welsh poet Dylan Thomas is often quoted as saying ""The land of my fathers. My fathers can have it!"" in reference to Wales. However, this is misleading, as it was a villainous character in one of Thomas' short stories that spoke this line. Gwynfor Evans named his history of Wales ""Land of my fathers: 2,000 years of Welsh history"". It was a translation of the Welsh original, ""Aros Mae"".

Similarly, the motto of the Burgh of Tayport: Te oportet alte ferri – ""It is incumbent on you to carry yourself high"" – is actually a rather terrible cant on: Tayport at auld"

You must be one man, either good or bad. You must cultivate either your own reason or else externals; apply yourself either to things within or without you—that is, be either a philosopher or one of the mob.""

The principal private secretary to the Prince of Wales, Sir Michael Peat, said in 2007 that the Prince ""...is always very careful to ensure he is not politically contentious or party political, and as far as I am aware even his most ardent critic has never suggested he is."" In 2006, the former deputy private secretary and press adviser to the Prince of Wales, Mark Bolland, said that the Prince had referred to himself as a ""dissident"" who worked against the prevailing political consensus.
