Special flags in the United Kingdom

Wales |
In 1300, King Edward of England made his son, Lord Edward, (born at Caernarfon Castle), Prince of Wales. In 1536 England and Wales officially united (under Henry VIII). The first "Union Flag" became the National Flag. This is the reason why the Welsh dragon is not in this flag.

The Royal Flag of Scotland |
This is the Royal Flag of Scotland. It is used as is a second national flag, and also called the "Rampant Lion". It is based on an older Scottish flag than the St. Andrew's Cross. It should, strictly speaking, now only be used by the monarch in relation to her capacity as Queen in Scotland.
