The Royal Standard

The Royal Standard is the official flag used by the British monarch to signify their presence in a particular location, such as a royal residence or during official events. Its design features the Union Jack along with the Royal Arms of England, Scotland, and Ireland, symbolizing the monarch’s authority over these nations. When flown, it indicates that the King or Queen is present at that site. The Standard is distinct from other flags and is carefully maintained to reflect the monarch’s status and heritage, serving as a symbol of continuity and sovereignty within the United Kingdom.
