Dear Your Royal Highness Augusta of Saxe-Gotha, Dowager Princess of Wales,


Lady, if your coat of arms looks like this, perhaps it's time to put down the quarterings and celebrate your ancestry some other way.

Though admittedly you're not half so bad as the Temple-Nugent-Brydges-Chandos-Grenvilles.


Love,

*eyes her own sense of aesthetics dubiously*
