What is it?
This flag IS the ENGLISH royal banner. It is the English equivalent to the Rampant lion. If you watch Braveheart,it is what Longshanks is wearing on his surcoat (one of the things the movie got right). So, you tried to by the Scot royal banner and got the English one instead (seems like an Englishman pulled a fast one :rolleyes: ).

The current royal arms is a combination of the English, Scottish, and Irish royal arms (and sometimes French- I forget if HRM QE2 has the French or not).
