Editing Duke of Windsor (section)

==Royal arms==
As the [[Coat of arms of the United Kingdom|royal arms]] go hand-in-hand with the crown, the undifferentiated royal arms passed to George VI. It was and is common [[Heraldry|heraldic]] practice for the eldest son to differentiate his [[Coat of arms|arms]] in his father's lifetime, but the Duke of Windsor was left in the unusual position of the eldest son needing to [[Cadency|difference]] his arms after his father's death. This was done by means of a label argent of three points, bearing on the middle point an [[imperial crown]] proper.<ref>{{Cite web
