THE QUEEN’S NEW FLAG.—A sketch of the new personal flag which has been adopted by the Queen. It consists of her initial “E,” with the Royal crown within a chaplet of roses in gold on a blue field, the flag being edged in gold. A statement from Buckingham Palace on December 5 reads, “The flag is in no way intended to supplant the Royal Standard and will be entirely personal to Her Majesty, and not specifically associated with any one of the nations of the Commonwealth.” The new flag, which is the Queen’s own idea, will be seen for the first time during the Royal visit to India and Pakistan early next year.
