Before the wedding, Albert received the style of Royal Highness on 6 February 1840 and the Field Marshal appointment on 8 February 1840; his personal grant of arms came upon the 1840 marriage.
Albert was granted the style of Royal Highness on 6 February 1840, four days before the wedding, and was appointed Field Marshal of the British Army on 8 February 1840. These are distinct dated grants rather than a single event. Upon his marriage to Queen Victoria in 1840, he received a personal grant of arms: the royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom differenced by a white three-point label with a red cross in the centre, quartered with his ancestral arms of Saxony. The passages give no specific date for the arms grant.
