Why is Wales not represented on the union flag flag?
Asked by Wiki User
Because at the time of the formation of the United Kingdom Wales was considered to be a Dominion of the English Crown (as it had been since 1535). Note that although the British monarch's eldest son bears the title Prince of Wales, he plays no role in the governance of the country (which it is today held to be) so that Wales is not a principality.
The Welsh flag is white on its upper half and green on its lower half with a red dragon passant. This flag can be flown alongside the Union Flag, but not above it, in Wales.

What does the Union Jack symbolize?
Asked by Wiki User
Jacks are additional national flags flown by warships (and certain other vessels) at the head of the ship. These are usually flown while not underway and when the ship is dressed on special occasions. Jacks in the Royal Navy must be run up when the first line is ashore when coming alongside.
Apparently the British navy started this.
