Depicts the Queen’s Panther holding the impaled Arms of Henry VIII that bears the Coat of Augmentation bestowed upon her, surrounded by the inscription above and date below.

The Queen’s Panther, positioned on the Moat Bridge opposite the Tudor Dragon, is the final Queen’s Beast visitors encounter before entering Hampton Court Palace. In heraldry, panthers are depicted as 'incensed', with flames emanating from their mouths and ears, symbolizing their fragrant breath. Legend states that this breath attracted all animals except for the dragon, making the pairing with the Tudor Dragon particularly fitting.

This panther was bestowed upon Jane Seymour by Henry VIII as a symbol of legitimacy and lineage, linking back to Henry VII. It holds a shield bearing the impaled Arms of Henry VIII and Jane Seymour, representing the union between the king and his third wife. On the left side (dexter) of the shield, Henry VIII’s quartered Arms highlight his royal ancestry, while the right side (sinister) displays Jane Seymour’s Coat of Arms, reflecting her descent from five noble families. This shield serves to affirm the legitimacy of their marriage and any offspring from the union. With its sharp gaze, the Queen’s Panther watches over the bridge, symbolizing both royal power and the House of Tudor’s enduring legacy.
