The Crest Design: The stars, on the azure background, represent the only constellation which can be seen in the southern hemisphere: The Southern Cross. In addition, it contains 5 stars, which represent the 5 mountains on the Isle of Thurston. Next, the lioness is a sign of Protestantism, of feminity, of Mt.

In the lower portion of the crest, the Irish harp | In the lower portion of the crest, the Irish harp represents the Princess's many musical and artistic talents. It also represents the music of the spheres, which Pythagorus, the ancient mathematician, (a subject in which the Princess excels), believed to be the key to understanding the wonders of the universe. Finally, as a tribute to Westarctica, the continent of [[Antarctica]] is a world-wide, agreed upon safe-haven for whales, which are the most amazing of mammals. The Princess has a particular interest in the [[humpback whale]] because of its vestigial legbone, because of its ability to follow the stars due to a peculiar placement of its eyes, because it communicates musically, and because she has seen them "breaching" in both Hawaii and Alaska. Once you have been so close as to be sprayed by a breaching humpback whale, it is difficult not to be filled with wonder. | ||
