Also on parade were these
flags:
Governor-General's Banner, Australian Navy Cadets
Duke of
Edinburgh's Banner, Australian Army Cadets
Governor-General's Banner,
Australian Air Force Cadets
What I find surprising however is the flying
(or more precisely, 'breaking') of the British Royal Standard. In previous
years, Queen Elizabeth II's Personal Flag for Australia
would be flown; now that King
Charles III is on the throne, and in the absence of a specifically Australian
flag for His Majesty, the British Royal Standard was flown instead this year.
But either way, I would presume that such personal flags should only be flown
when the monarch is physically present?

The Royal Standard is ONLY to be flown when the Sovereign is present. Perhaps
the King's Orders and Regulations restrictions only apply when it is the
Standard of the realm of the realm in question.
