The royal flags are the Dannebrog as swallow-tail flags with special emblems in the central field.
The Royal House of Denmark makes use of a number of special flags, which all have in common that they are the Dannebrog in swallow-tail form with special emblems in the central field (or spunsen, in Danish). The royal flags indicate whether members of The Royal Family are residing at a certain location, or, for Navy or Air Force personnel concerned, that a royal person is on board a vessel or aircraft. If the Regent’s Flag is raised, it indicates that HM The King and HRH The Crown Prince are both residing outside of the kingdom and that a regent has therefore assumed duty.
The royal flags are also used on the royal vehicles on official occasions. They indicate which members of The Royal Family are being transported in the vehicles.
