EDITORS COMMENTS
1. His Grace the Duke of Norfolk: The Eminent Earl Marshal of England and Head of the Heralds College His Grace the Duke of Norfolk, Kenneth William Scrope, 15th Duke of Norfolk, K.G. (b. 1951), is a distinguished English nobleman and the current Earl Marshal of England, a position of great importance in the realm's royal ceremonial life. As the Duke, he is the custodian of the ancient office of the Earl Marshal, which dates back to the 14th century and is responsible for the organization and execution of various royal events, most notably the coronations of English and British monarchs. The Duke's extensive responsibilities extend beyond the Earl Marshalship, as he also serves as the Head of the College of Arms, the heraldic authority in England and Wales. In this role, he presides over the Heralds' College, a prestigious institution that maintains and regulates the use of coats of arms, flags, and other heraldic emblems. The Duke's noble lineage and significant role in royal ceremonies make him a pivotal figure in the British monarchy. His Grace's presence at coronations and other royal events is a testament to the historical continuity and tradition that underpins the British monarchy. This striking portrait captures the Duke of Norfolk in his regal attire, exuding an air of authority and dignity befitting his esteemed position. The image serves as a reminder of the rich history and tradition that surrounds the role of the Earl Marshal and the Heralds College in the British monarchy. The Duke of Norfolk's involvement in the coronation arrangements underscores the importance of these ancient offices in the ceremonial life of the monarchy. His presence at the coronation of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in 1953 and the upcoming coronation of King Charles III in 2023 further solidifies his role as a vital officer in the British royal ceremonial tradition.
