The Prince of Wales's feathers are the heraldic badge of the Prince of Wales.
It consists of three white ostrich feathers emerging from a gold coronet.
A ribbon below the coronet bears the motto Ich dien (German: [ɪç ˈdiːn], "I serve").
As well as being used in royal heraldry, the badge is sometimes used to symbolize Wales, particularly in Welsh rugby union and Welsh regiments of the British Army.
The badge has no connection with the native Princes of Wales.
Its use is generally traced back to Edward, the Black Prince (1330–1376), the eldest son and heir apparent of Edward III of England.
The prince also used badges of one or more ostrich feathers in a number of other contexts.
The feathers had first appeared at the marriage of Edward III to Philippa of Hainault, and it is therefore likely that the Black Prince inherited the badge from his mother.
Only from the beginning of the 17th century did the badge become exclusively associated with the Prince of Wales.
It has been a part of the coat of arms of the Prince of Wales since at least 1901.
Circa late 19th century.
