She designed her coat of arms with the guidance of the Garter King of Arms (bet he could tell a few tales of what is was like working with her).
And it's a marital coat of arms. They both have the choice of either using their own arms or the impaled version. Most the time, he uses just his. All of the time, she used the marital version rather than just hers.
There are really very few instances of a need for arms to represent both spouses at the same time.
It's just so tacky using the coat of arms. Even the Earl of Sandwich doesn't use his to advertise his chain of sandwich shops.
