"I serve."  It's German. It's on the arms of the Prince of Wales, and
(IIRC) also on his badge.

See <http://www.fleurdelis.com/royal.htm> for his arms. 

The badge, commonly referred to as "the Prince of Wales' feathers", is 
three white ostrich plumes emerging from a gold coronet. Below them is
a ribbon with the motto "Ich dien".
