Did you see the Hood Ornament on Prince Charles's Aston Martin as William and Catherine left the wedding? How cool is that????
It's a Welsh Dragon. The Red Dragon is used to symbolize Wales and appears on the National Flag of Wales.
Here is a photo of our Welsh Dragon Hood Ornament.
The Welsh Dragon is just one of many hood ornaments on automobiles belonging to the Royal Family. The Queen has a Labrador with Pheasant on her Land Rover, Prince Charles has a Polo Player, Princess Diana had a Leaping Frog, and Sarah, The Duchess of York has a Standing Owl.
Here's one more cool Royal Hood Ornament fact. Kate Middleton arrived at Westminster Abbey in the Queen's 1977 Rolls Royce Phantom VI, a Silver Jubilee gift from the British automobile industry. When the queen uses it, the Rolls Royce Hood Ornament is replaced by one depicting St. George, the patron saint of England, slaying the dragon.
Who knew the Royals were so cool?
