[ANSTHRLD] Pull the Files - Coronet Arms

[Star Principal Herald]

Quite.

I am far more inclined to leave the registration designations as they
currently are, and revisit the issue should we find ourselves in that
situation (Queen by her own hand) again. Thus, unless it happens in
the next two years, I happily leave that issue for a future Star to
ponder!
