HMS Prince of Wales (Part. I)

hmm, I was just looking for the camouflage scheme of the HMS Prince of Wales during her sinking (btw it would be very kind of you, if you know a site where I can find it, need it for modelling her in 1/700), when I found out that the motto of the Prince of Wales was Ich dien´ (german for I serve). Is this correct and why did they chosse a german motto ?

That motto probably comes from the official motto of the Princes of Wales:

 

and where does the offical motto come from ?

Um, years & years back - to the Black Prince, the first Prince of Wales.
