	Fortunately, that would be an easy fix, and one easy to 
justify for other reasons as well.

	The fix is to simply drop the Queen's arms.  SCA and kingdom 
TRADITION says that it is the Crown, not the King or the Queen, that 
rules the Kingdom.  Therefore the arms of the Kingdom are the arms of 
the Crown, and so both the King and the Queen should be using the 
Kingdom arms.  We don't need separate arms for the Queen.

	It also has the wonderful side effect of being much more period.
