What do the unicorn and lion represent on the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom?

Answer:

Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom


The lion traditionally symbolises strength, royalty and bravery, and, according to the legend, a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast. That's the reason why the heraldic unicorn is chained in the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom.
