Coat of Arms". Prince Harry. Clarence House. Archived from the original on 24 March 2016 . Retrieved 12 April 2016. The Sovereign's coat of arms has evolved over many years and reflects the history of the Monarchy and of the country. The Alan Lewrie series (by American author Lambdin) fits neatly within this mold and hits all those beats with impressed midshipman Alan Lewrie (a bastard aristocrat only forced into service because of an "incident" with a young lady) forced into service and having to learn the ways of the Royal Navy at the height of the American Revolution (though we only fight Frogs here). There's a VERY heavy Richard Sharpe vibe as 17-year-old Lewrie learns the distinctions between officer and seaman and the ways of the ship while also trying to bugger every woman he encounters (and succeeding more often than not). We get sea battles, beating to quarters, Captain's Mast (i.e. punishment at sea) and all the things you want and need in a naval yarn.

It is now only days until the Coronation of King Charles III, and the outfit he will be wearing has finally been announced. The King will be dressed in layers of glittering robes, including a shimmering gold-sleeved coat called the Supertunica for the crowning. The robe was made for George V in 1911, and has been worn in every coronation since, including that of Elizabeth II. On top of the Supertunica will be a floor-length cloak named the Imperial Mantle, or Robe Royal, which was made for George IV in 1821.

As Prince of Wales, Charles founded the Campaign for Wool, promoting wool as an inherently natural, renewable and biodegradable fibre. At Dumfries House he started a training scheme in high-end fashion and sewing skills which developed into the Modern Artisan, a range of luxury sustainable clothing for men and women created in partnership with Yoox Net-a-Porter and The Prince's Foundation. In 1603 James VI of Scotland inherited the English and Irish thrones, and to symbolise this union of the crowns the arms of England (including France) and Ireland were quartered with those of Scotland. In 1689 Mary II and William III became co-monarchs and impaled their arms; both used the royal arms, with William also bearing an inescucheon of Nassau, the royal house to which he belonged.

In private however, Charles II preferred a more low-key form of dress. "He liked a degree of informality, and I think in part that must have come from is time in exile. It was helpful to be incognito. If people recognised him, and didn't acclaim him, it would have been a bit embarrassing. But it also suited his personality. He preferred to do business in an informal, private setting," says Hayward. Also, for a naval adventure, maybe 6/10ths of this novel actually take place at sea (and half of that is just Alan learning about seamanship) and 4/10ths take place on land where, again, the main character is either trying to get laid or fighting with someone.
