Lady Di was a Spencer, arguably a more English family than the Windor's, Prince Charles' family who arived in Britain the the late 19th century from Germany.

The scallop also appears on the Label on the Arms and the Supporters of Prince William. The Label of three parts signifies William's first-born status as an heir to the British throne. His younger brother, Harry and any other grandchildren except Harry will have a Label of five parts.
