I cannot be 100% behind this (being born in another country - Wales 🫣) but you have hit a very important nail on the noggin.

@FreddieUK Wales is the forgotten country not in the "union" jack.

@SomeMichGuy Is there a harp on the Union flag? 🤔

SomeMichGuy · M

@FreddieUK No on the royal standard

2 quarters of one of the major countries of the UK (England or Scotland; the Scotland panels are used ONLY when HRH is in Scotland), 1 quarter for the "other" major country, and a harp

In Scotland

NOT In Scotland

@SomeMichGuy I see. Yes, you're quite right the dragon's missing. It's a disgrace. And if I could bring myself to care, I do something about it. 🤣🤣

@SomeMichGuy and those aren’t even lions they are Leopards

@Julien

The leopard in heraldry is traditionally depicted the same as a lion, but in a walking position with its head turned to full face, thus it is also known as a lion passant guardant in some texts, though leopards more naturally depicted make some appearances in modern heraldry. The Oxford Guide to Heraldry makes little mention of leopards but glosses leopard as a "term used in medieval heraldry for lion passant guardant. Now used for the natural beast."[1] Another name for this beast is the ounce.[2]
