The White Lion of Mortimer descended to the Queen through Edward IV. The shield shows a white rose encircled by a sun, known as “white rose en soleil”. Both of these appear on the Great Seals of Edward IV and Richard III, and were used by George VI while Duke of York. The White Lion is uncrowned, unlike the Lion of England.
