From website:
“The Crown, Rose and Thistle design is taken from the bedhead on the four-poster bed in HRH The Queen Mother's Bedchamber in Glamis Castle where Cecilia, Countess of Strathmore, embroidered the Thistle of Scotland, the Rose of England and the Crown of Royalty. The ‘S’ stands for Strathmore, their ancient Scottish family who supported King James VI when he travelled south and took the English crown in 1603.
Cecilia was the mother of HRH The Queen Mother and the maternal grandmother and Godmother of our present Queen and in 2000, her great-nephew, The Earl of Kinghorne and Strathmore, commissioned Phillipa to recreate the by then lost bedspread for The Queen Mother’s bed. We have exclusive access to this design.”
