Coat Arms

Any ideas why the Neverland Ranch gate symbol is the same as the Great Britain coat of arms?

or what is the meaning of Great Britain coat of arms symbol?

Why MJ used a coat of arms he had no right to, I have no idea. Or maybe because the tale of Peter Pan happens in London. However after careful study of the gate symbol it seems that the helmet is not the royal crown so it is different enough the Crown could not complain.

As for the British royal coat of arms :
On the left, the shield is supported by the English Lion. On the right it is supported by the Unicorn of Scotland. The unicorn is chained because in medieval times a free unicorn was considered a very dangerous beast (only a virgin could tame a unicorn)
The coat features both the motto of British Monarchs: Dieu et mon droit (God and my right)
and the motto of the Order of the Garter: Honi soit qui mal y pense ('Evil to him who evil thinks')
on a representation of the Garter behind the shield.
The Royal Arms we see today have evolved over nine centuries, since Richard the Lionheart chose three lions to represent England.
The full version of the Royal Coat of Arms is now used only by the Queen in her capacity as the Sovereign. In the version used by the government and consequently as the official coat of arms of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the crown is shown resting directly on the shield, with the helm, crest and mantling not displayed
The first and fourth quadrants represent England and contain three gold lions passant (in plain English, three gold lions with their right forepaws raised and their heads facing the viewer) on a red field; the second quadrant represents Scotland contains a redlion rampant on a gold field; the third quadrant represents Ireland and contains the gold harp of Ireland on a blue field.
