The royal standards of Canada are flags employed by some members of the Canadian Royal Family to mark the presence of the bearer at any building or area or aboard any car, ship, or airplane, both in Canada and abroad. There are three royal standards, one each for the Queen of Canada, the Prince of Wales, and the Duke of Cambridge. The flags are part of a larger collection of Canadian royal symbols.
