The
wolves’ heads represent
the Anglo-Scottish
family of Miller. The
double-headed eagles
represent the armiger’s
descent from the
continental families of
d'Alvarez de Asturias,
Borcherds and Wiber,
those families having
served in the Holy Roman
Empire.
The tree trunk in the
crest indicates descent
from the Old Cape family
of Borcherds. The
cornucopia alludes to
the armiger’s father’s
marriage to Mary
Magdalene Bernadotte
Miller; in art the
Magdalene is often
represented pouring
ointment from a horn. It
is imagined that some of
the petals that lie on
the ground have fallen
from the horn of plenty,
whereof the three
colours (white pink and
blue) are significant to
the three children of
the family.
