The Duchy of Lancaster Flag

A red flag with three yellow lions passant and a blue banner adorned with fleur-de-lys, dividing the flag into three sections—this Duchy of Lancaster flag often features in Lancaster walks, talks, tours exploring royal heritage.

The Duchy of Lancaster flag is one of England’s oldest and most distinctive royal emblems. Featuring three golden lions passant guardant on a rich red background, it symbolises the county’s deep ties to the Crown and centuries of proud heritage. The design reflects the Duchy’s long history — from its medieval origins under Henry of Grosmont and John of Gaunt to its continued use today as a mark of the monarch’s personal estate in Lancashire.
