Coats of arms of Elizabeth II

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is highly unsourced and will remain so as it is mostly original research. It is very difficult to find a source affirming that they are Elizabeth II's personal arms and not that of the state's. I understand that traditionally what is the arms of the monarch is that of the state's (hence "arms of dominion") as is the case with the United Kingdom but none of coats of arms on this article are described as such and in like manner by reliable sources. Only Canada explicitly states that they are the arms of "Her Majesty the Queen in Right of Canada". Other countries don't. In fact, this piece of legislation from New Zealand: clearly gives a distinction between the "coat of arms of New Zealand" and the "coat of arms of Her Majesty".

 * Delete -- Most are probably national coats of arms, not royal ones. Coats of arms were originally what a soldier had painted on his shield.  Arms are almost inevitably personal, though this has extended to cities and countries.  Peterkingiron (talk) 18:16, 18 November 2016 (UTC)
