You opted for the coat of arms of a Hannoverian, but prior to dropping the claim to France in the Napoleonic wars. Interesting choice.

Did schizophrenia change the course of English history? The mental illness of Henry VI. - PubMed - NCBI

"Henry VI, King of England, at age 19 founded Eton College and King's College, Cambridge. At 31 he had a sudden, dramatic mental illness in which he was mute and unresponsive. Before, he had been paranoid, grandiose, and indecisive. After, he was apathetic with deterioration of ability, drive, interest and self-care, and hallucinations and religious delusions. This illness, which is consistent with a diagnosis of schizophrenia, robbed Henry of his personality, his crown, his wife, his only son, and his life. It led to three decades of brutal fighting for the crown (the 'Wars of the Roses') that resulted in a new dynasty with a dramatic impact on the country: the Tudors, Henry VIII, and Elizabeth I and their descendants. Henry's story illustrates how schizophrenia can devastate individuals and families and change the course of history and yet it raises questions about how achievement and illness are related."

His grandfather, Charles VI of France had bouts of madness too, believing he was made of glass. Agincourt was a poisoned chalice, as Henry V's marriage to Catherine of Valois doomed the English in France ultimately, by genetic means.

private | Origin and meaning of private by Online Etymology Dictionary

late 14c., "pertaining or belonging to oneself, not shared, individual; not open to the public;" of a religious rule, "not shared by Christians generally, distinctive; from Latin privatus "set apart, belonging to oneself (not to the state), peculiar, personal," used in contrast to publicus, communis; past participle of privare "to separate, deprive," from privus "one's own, individual," from Proto-Italic *prei-wo- "separate, individual," from PIE *prai-, *prei- "in front of, before," from root *per- (1) "forward." The semantic shift would be from "being in front" to "being separate."


So when people are too upfront about things, they should have kept it private. Similarly people nowadays seem too forward with their privacy, and/or euphemistically.
