Sign Manual Warrant Ornamentation Describe any ornamentation. Printed in Times New Roman. Royal name is capitalized. "Elizabeth the Second by the Grace of God" is printed in blue, and "of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Our other Realms and Territories Queen Head of the Commonwealth Defender of the Faith" is in red. Prince Harry's name and the first instance of his titles are in boldface. Special Features This is a place to enter any distinguishing features. The use of red and blue is unusual and may have been done for the benefit of the scrivener who was to illuminate the Letters Patent. The consolidation of different degrees of the peerage in a single instrument is typical when someone receives multiple titles at once. The wording generally follows the templates set out in The Crown Office (Forms and Proclamations Rules) Order 1992, but it omits language about having a seat in Parliament since hereditary peers are excluded under the House of Lords Act 1999.
