It hasn't much- it's design dates back to 1603, when Scottish King James 1st inherited the English throne following the death of Elizabeth 1st. He became King of England, Scotland and Ireland, which were united under him in a personal Union but remaining seperate states. He thus commissioned the new flag as a combination of the English cross of St. George, the St. Andrew's flag (or 'saltire') of Scotland, and the St. Patrick's cross of Ireland. This was the first British flag.
BUT, Wales was not included because it had been officially been proclaimed part of England under Henry VIII's Act of Union in 1536, so was not held to be a seperate state and thus unworthy of a flag of it's own. It was only legally disestablished from England shortly before the First World War, and the Welsh flag remains absent from the Union Jack to this day.

What did the stars and stripes mean on the colonial American flag?
The stars on the American flag represent the number of states in the Union. For that reason, the appearance of the American flag has changed many times over the years. The original flag, known as "Old Glory," displayed 13 stars to represent the original 13 states when the nation declared its independence from Great Britain in 1776. Today's flag has 50 stars because there are now 50 states. The last two stars were added in 1959, when Alaska and Hawaii joined the Union, bringing the number of states -- and the number of stars on the flag -- from 48 to the present 50. The flag has not changed since then. The stripes represent the 13 original colonies.
