Royal standards are flags that represent a monarch or royal family. These flags often feature unique symbols, colors, and designs that signify the identity and authority of the royal figure. Each royal standard is distinct and can vary from one country to another, reflecting the history and culture of the monarchy it represents. When a royal standard is displayed, it indicates that the monarch is present or that a royal event is taking place. For example, the Royal Standard of the United Kingdom features the coats of arms of the four nations: England, Scotland, Ireland, and Wales.
