A royal standard is the flag representing the monarch and the rest of the royal family in a given country. An ensign is typically the flag used by a given country to identify military units, particularly naval vessels. In the case of the United Kingdom, for example, the royal standard is divided into four quadrants, two representing England, one representing Scotland, and one representing Ireland. Conversely, there are several British ensigns which feature the Union Jack in the upper left corner on a white, blue, or red background, depending on the nature of the vessel.
