How to Know If the King Is in Buckingham Palace
著者: 小林 直樹
Your first clue is the Royal Standard. That’s the flag with the lions and unicorns. If it’s flying above the Palace, the monarch is home. If you see the Union Jack instead? He’s gone—maybe to Balmoral, maybe to open a hospital in Wigan. But here’s the twist: the Royal Standard never flies at half-mast. So if you see a sad, droopy flag, that’s for national mourning, not a bad day of golf. Just don’t confuse it with the Prince of Wales’s flag—that one has three feathers and means William’s inside, not Charles.
Honestly, I once spent ten minutes squinting at a flag on a windy day and still got it wrong. The key is pattern recognition: lions = Charles, plain crosses = nobody’s home.
