A notable example of a royal monogram is the [[H7 (monogram)|H7]] monogram of King [[Haakon VII of Norway]]. While in exile during World War II, Haakon VII spearheaded the Norwegian resistance to the [[Occupation of Norway by Nazi Germany|German occupation]], and H7 became a symbol used by the Norwegian populace to mark solidarity and loyalty to the King, and adherence to the [[Norwegian resistance movement]]. The act of drawing or creating a H7 symbol in German-occupied Norway was punishable by imprisonment.<ref>{{cite news|title=Meldinger fra Norge|last=Hjeltnes|first=Guri|author-link=Guri Hjeltnes|date=7 April 2008|work=VG|pages=2|language=no}}</ref>

Similarly, in [[Poland in World War II|Poland]] during the war, the "PW" monogram was used as a resistance symbol, known as 'The Anchor' ({{langx|pl|[[Kotwica]]|links=no}}), due to its characteristic shape. Its meaning varied, as the initials were useful for many different slogans, such as 'Poland Fights', 'Warsaw Uprising', 'Polish Army', and others. Like the Norwegian example above, its use was punished by the Nazi occupation authorities.
