Prince George’s County Seal: Charles Beckwith of Patuxent created the seal in 1696. The four quarters of the coat of arms stand for Queen Anne, France, England, and the first and fourth great quarters, respectively; Scotland, the second grand quarter; and Ireland, the third grand quarter. The county’s motto, “Semper Eadem,” which translates to “Ever the Same,” is shown on the flag below.
