Firstly, i would like give some background about the Union Flag:the cross represented in each flag is named after the patron saint of each country: St. George, patron saint of England, St. Andrew, patron saint of Scotland and St. Patrick, patron saint of Ireland.The image below renders the idea of the union of the three flags forming one unified, transnational Flag.(from internet)
Welsh Flag is not mentioned in the Union Flag and the Welsh dragon was not incorporated into the Union Flag because of wales had been united to Egland when the first Version about the Union Flag desinged in 1606.Wales into united with England from the 13th century. So Wales a Principality instead of a Kingdom that could not be included in it.
