Prince's Flag

Uncommon card · No. 148355

The Prince's Flag (Dutch: prinsenvlag) is a tricolour Dutch flag, first used in the Dutch Revolt during the late 16th century. The Prince's Flag is based on the flag of William the Silent, Prince of Orange. The colours are orange, white and blue. On the basis of the French names of these colours, orange-blanc-bleu, the flag is also referred to by the Dutch rhymes oranje-blanje-bleu and ranje-blanje-bleu. This flag became somewhat controversial in the Netherlands due to its usage by the pro-Nazi NSB in the years before and during World War II. The flag is now often used in the Netherlands by far right activists and in historical re-enactment.
