The inescutcheon of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha is on the standard of the Prince of
Wales in the 1905 Flaggenbuch. According to my
notes the same inescutcheon is on the standard shown in the
1907 Admiralty Flag Book. There was no edition
in 1910, but in the 1915 edition the inescutcheon of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha had been
replaced by the shield from the Welsh arms. It seems that this happened when
George V granted arms to Edward (VIII) Prince of Wales in about 1910, but the
inescutcheon of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha continued on the standards of the Duke of
Connaught and 'Other Members of the Royal Family' until 1917 when the family
name was changed to Windsor.

The Royal Standard, and her personal Standard as Victoria Mary, Princess of
Teck, impaled.
A Standard for Queen Mary was introduced in 1913. In her
personal Standard, the first and fourth quarters, the Arms of the Dukes of Teck,
are the same as the British Royal Arms between 1801 and 1837, except that the
inescutcheon of the Hanoverian Arms, (Brunswick, two lions passant guardant;
Luneburg, lion and hearts; and Lower Saxony, horse), does not carry the central
shield with the German Imperial Crown, and is not ensigned with the Electoral
Bonnet or Royal Crown, items which belonged only to the head of the House of
Hanover. In Britain the Arms are differenced with the label of the Dukes of
Cambridge. They were granted to Adolphus Frederick, brother of King George IV,
and passed to his daughter Mary Adelaide, who took them with her when she
married Francis Paul, Duke of Teck. Their children combined the Cambridge Arms
with those of Teck, which consisted of the Arms of Wurttenberg, or, three deer
antlers sable, impaled with those of Swabia, or, three lions sable, with a black
and gold lozengy inescutcheon, the Arms of Teck. The three black lions have red
forepaws in memory of Duke Conradin of Swabia who at the age of sixteen was
beheaded by Charles of Anjou in 1268. [Heraldry by O. Neubecker]
