Queen's Personal Canadian Flag
The Queen's Personal Canadian Flag, sometimes called the Royal Standard of Canada, is the personal standard, that is to say official flag, of Elizabeth II, Queen of Canada.
The Queen's Personal Canadian Flag (1:2)
It is used only when the Queen is in Canada or when she is attending an event abroad primarily as the Canadian head of state (for example, the commemorations at Juno Beach on June 6, 2004). The Queen's official representative, the Governor General of Canada, has her own flag.
The flag consists of the Royal Arms of Canada in banner form, defaced with one variant of the Queen's Royal Cypher : a blue disk with the initial "E", crowned, all within a wreath of roses, all gold-coloured.
The sovereign's personal Canadian flag will change when a new monarch succeeds the throne.
