The Kingdom of Rhodesia is represented through various flags which are recognised as the official banners of the various institutions using them. Rhodesia has two official governmental flags, the National Flag and the Royal Standard, with the former representing the nation as a whole and the latter representing the Monarchy of Rhodesia as the sovereign representation of the people of the country. Both flags are used to represent the Rhodesian nation, although the Royal Standard is more correctly described as a representation of the representative figurehead of the nation.
