The Standard of the Prince consists of a light blue (the colour of the Flag of Asturias) square flag with the Coat of arms of the Prince of Asturias in the center. The Guidon (Guión) is identical to the Standard except that the Royal Guidon has a golden fringe. It is made of silk’s taffeta. The size of the guindon is 80 x 80 cm.
