Regarding the second question, Her Royal Highness does have registered
arms, but they are under
a 'holding name' as the name she originally submitted was not deemed
registerable in 1999. I was
the herald who assisted in the submission, and looking up her holding
name of Kassandra of
Loch Salann we find the following blazon:

Per saltire Or and purpure, in pale two roses slipped and leaved proper
and in fess an increscent and a decrescent argent.


I can provide a picture privately if needed.
