I think you posted this on the wrong thread unless I misunderstand what you're asking.
Any more details ?
Thanks for the advice.
Let's try this with another flag of mine - the Eureka-inspired flag of the Commonwealth of Australasia.
(Maybe a bit too generic, but at least it looks historically plausible. Oh well.)

Now add that to a Union Jack.
Ah yes I'd forgotten about that one. Quite nice even if the route you originally used was a little off
The colour is yellow, don't give the fucking Unionists their own part of the Union Jack by saying it's orange, they'll never fucking shut up about it
Isn't it more sepia?
Oh dear gods!
Aaaarrrrgh!

Yay unb&!!
My two cents on the new Union flag:
Hopefully fairly self-explanatory. I don't have a clue how how to describe it in the proper heraldic terms (would be cool if someone did for me!) but its a St Georges cross on the right (red over white field) and on the left is the red-on-yellow Ulster flag for northern Ireland. This bit is controversial because a) Republicans may view it as a British claim to all 9 counties, and Unionists might reject it as a flag used by Republicans. Anyway to continue the yellow field on the left is superimposed on a black field, becoming a St David's flag representing Wales, on the other side the white flag on black is St Piran's flag representing Cornwall.
The second is a Royal Standard remix, Scotland is removed (thankfully never going to happen! ) and Wales is added, which imo it should be anyway. Although not part of the Union as such the Commonwealth flag is added to represent territories and dependencies.

The flag is "Sable, a Cross St. George's Gules fimbriated per Pale Or and Argent".
About the royal standard, adding the Commonwealth flag would not only be seen as offensive to the Commonwealth members, but also it would not be according to the rule that the royal standard is a banner of the royal arms. Rather, the arms and thus standard would have two quarters of England, as it is now.

This makes me moist!
Thanks Sorry I meant to say, this isn't a change to the Royal Standard, this is using the Royal Standard as inspiration for a replacement Union Flag (I guess it wouldn't even be called that without Scotland though..) I don't think the Commonwealth nations would be offended with their flag on the royal standard, the queen is the head of the commonwealth and for some of them she is their contitutional monarch, but for a British flag I guess they would..
[Edit] How about this?

Very nice, though I personally prefer the arms of Llyllellwllylln the Great (tried not to leave out an 'l' ... sorry to any Welshmen) which are currently used as the Royal Badge of Wales and the inescutcheon of HRH The Prince of Wales, namely Quarterly Or and Gules, four lions langued and armed Azure counterchanged.
This one? You're right it looks a LOT better!
Well, be sure to use the same shades for or and gules and try to use lions in the same style, but otherwise it does look far better.
I think that if Wales is upgraded to a kingdom, it would be considered junior to ireland so would be in third place like so (I allowed myself to change the lions' style).
Maybe if instead of Ireland, the UK incorporated Denmark...
....and belgium, luxemburg, the netherland, etc.... You could have quite the Pride Flag (pardon the pun)
