Why is Wales not represented in the Union Jack?
The Flag of St David is not represented on the Union Flag as the "Union" is that of, first, England and Scotland and later on, England, Scotland and Ireland. When the flag was devised, it was a union between England and Scotland and the flag incorporated the flags of St George of England and St Andrew of Scotland. Later, the flag of St Patrick was added on behalf of Ireland. Wales was not put on as it had already been integrated into the constitutional body of England and Wales. Thus, they both came under the flag of England, in effect. It did and still does, however, have its own unique flag to England which is one of the oldest national flags in the world. It was only in the last century or so that Wales became a legally defined geographical body. The Union Flag is composed from the English, Scottish, and Northern Ireland. Wales being a principality was left out. There are occasional campaigns to incorporate Wale's red dragon into the design. A move I approve of, as at the moment, I find an annoying number of Union Flags are being flown upside down! Maybe, if the Welsh dragon is not approved, could we not have a "this way up" symbol in the design?
