PRINCE William’s Knight of the Garter crest has been revealed – with a touching tribute to his mother Princess Diana.

Wills asked for the Royal ceremonial symbol to incorporate her family logo – the first time this has happened.

Both William, 26, and brother Harry, 23, requested a scallop shell on their crests and Coat of Arms in her memory.

The scallop is the symbol of the Spencer Coat of Arms, which is for Diana’s family.

Wills’ crest – a gold lion with the red shell on it standing on a crown – will be mounted above his seat at St George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle.

The second-in-line to the throne was last month installed as a Knight of the Garter – the world’s oldest surviving order of chivalry – in front of the Queen.

The crest was made by sculptor Ian Brennan, from Warsash, Hants, out of lime wood and gold.

He said: “Prince William’s crest has a bit of his mother’s family crest which he requested.”
