Wow This is a real treat, congratulations Novice; but I'll leave you guys to sort out the protocols for flags, Les Majesty!!

With so many good sources it's a pleasure to draw a ship.

Thank you guys.
Bezzo the flags I've used are what I saw in a picture similar to the one, just above the book cover you posted.
It also seems that each picture has different flags, or different positions for said flags.

Wauw When you asked for the crest I had the feeling you already drawing on the yacht, but I didn't realise you already was ready. Beautiful work of art

Novice, what you don't seem to understand is that, under no circumstances can there be two Royal Standards flying; certainly not from the lowest ranking masthead; i.e. the mizzen top. Only on a few occasions have British royal yachts been displaying two Standards - but one was always a foreign one; the most famous being Victoria and Albert in 1902, at the funeral procession from Osborne House and Cowes at the occasion of Queen Victoria's death. But the the Kaiser's Standard was flown at the same height as the British one from the main mast. And, as you can see, most commonly the Admiralty flag is also hoisted when the Queen is onboard.

THX Kim. I sent for the crest when the ship was ready, and I say again thank for your beautifull work on that crest.

I see that now. As I've said earlier I thought they were two Royal Standards, but evidently I was wrong. Looking at my source picture I see now that I was mistaken. It will be some time before I'll update the flags, as I need to find out what standard I'm missing.
I've located the said Standard, and it belongs to HM Queen Elizabeth, the queen mother

If you want, I'd be happy to assist you in this. I care, of course not, to have any credit for it, but only to enhance your otherwise quite terrific drawing! But, just let me know if you care to have my help! - As for the actual flags flown, I'm not particular, since do we know at what particular occasion such and such royal was present onboard, with the privilege to let fly their banners? Seldom so, I think. In fact, if so desired, several 'flag'-versions could easily be made, including the museum-variant, which still (as far as I'm cognizant thereof!) wears the colors of the RN. - And we have been waiting for this ultimate yacht for such a long time!

Britannia's secondry role was as a Hospital ship I do wonder what she'd look like in Hospital ship colours!
