[MR] Queen's Arms

[L]

I thought that Alanna's concerns are grounded.  And I think the populous
deserves the right to question this decision.  I must say that as a Prince,
very soon to be King, that you addressed this concern very badly.

What reason is there to change the arms again? Why is it so important to go
back to a design that has caused such controversy.  I know what the
published reason for it is, but I'm sorry it seems whimsical.  I think the
populous deserves an answer, not a mightier-than-thou retort.
