The flag of Jersey features a red diagonal cross on a white background with the island's coat of arms surmounted by a Plantagenet crown in the upper triangle. The arms display three golden leopards (passant guardant) on a red shield, reflecting Jersey's historic ties to the Duchy of Normandy.
Jersey's three leopards (or lions) are identical to those in the arms of Normandy, reflecting the island's status as the last remnant of the medieval Duchy of Normandy held by the British Crown.
