Disappointing quality. Said nothing about the lion flag's use today, and minimally about its origins. The ax on the flag should be Saint Olav's, and the flag is still used as the royal flag. The video title asks what happened with the old one, so do that.

"Should languages have flags?" No - end of the video

Just a side note regarding the Portuguese flag: that's the republican flag created in the XX century, the one dutch fought for 100 years is different, with white and blue colors.

Too bad the flag became controversial because of WW2. But it’s also ironic because the orange prinsen vlag symbolized the house of Orange, the kingdom and princes but the NSB party weren't supporters of the kingdom. Probably it symbolized in their view the golden age when Holland was economical and military strong en not poor like in the '30s

Never go full New Zealand.

For portuense I would put only Brazilian flag since is the most relevant culturally and in population

more purely germanic than scandinavians

The simple answer is most Israelis arent Ashkenazi

Damn, I was not expecting the perfect Afrikaans pronounciation.

Zulu told the Boers"go back to Europe"

Im Dutch and im of the opinion that de Prisnsenvlag is the Dutch flag. The Nsb were a bunch of idiots and the red triclour is ugly. Lang leve de Republiek. Hulde

Always associated shield walls with Romans. Viking ‘shield walls’ seems paradoxical

I’m an English speaker and thought it sounded like an English speaker doing a bad imitation of German.

As an Englishman I think it’s ridiculous that Wales isn’t represented on the union flag. I’m all for it.

Orange one looks better 🍊

I think red white and blue with an orange banner are fine

De vraag in deze is: wat is Holland werkelijk? Noordholland is veel meer Fries dan Hollands en Zuidholland is zeker voor een kwart Fries.

What an excellent explanation. Thank you very much. I am Dutch and i learned a lot. Orange-white-blue looks cool. But i doubt it will ever be used again. There is the NSB-history. But there is not enough support for the royal family in modern Dutch society.

breng de prinsenvlag terug!

Not a fan of the dutch monarchy so I automatically don't like the flag Also it's ironic that the Nazis opposed the Dutch royal family while prince Bernard of the Netherlands was a proven member of the Nazi Party

I live in the hague and I always wondered what was going on!! Thank you so much. Something else you might find interesting- when dutch kids pass their end of school exams in their final year, they hang their school bag on the flag that is hung outside their house. People are all flying their flags today as it is Liberation day!

As a matter of fact there are (at least) 2 Saint Georges. There is a semi-historical Saint George - Saint George of Lydda - who died on 23rd April 303. He was a Roman soldier. However, the other Saint George, the one everyone remembers, is actually a Christian interpolation of an earlier Greek myth. The myth of Bellerophon and the Chimaera. Studying the legends of 'Saint George' and of BELLEROPHON reveals the very close resemblance of one to the other. Furthermore, the well known image of 'Saint George' slaying the 'dragon' is an almost literal facsimile of the icon of Bellerophon and the Chimaera. Don't believe me? See the Roman mosaic floor of the Roman Villa at Croughton in Northamptonshire. There you will see what is clearly the image of 'Saint George and the dragon' with 'Saint George' riding on his horse, spear in hand, thrusting his spear into the dragon below. But this is on a the floor of a Roman villa. You can clearly make out, at the bottom of the scene, the 'dragon' which is not a dragon it is THE CHIMAERA (head of a lion, middle of a goat (the goat's head jutting out of it's back), tail of a snake). Also 'Saint George' is riding on a white horse - a horse with WINGS! This is PEGASUS of the Bellerophon myth. So this is clearly NOT 'Saint George and the dragon', it is a representation of BELLEROPHON AND THE CHIMAERA. However, above 'Saint George' (actually BELLEROPHON) there are four RED CROSSES - the symbol of Saint George. This (at least in my mind) PROVES 'Saint George' is actually the BELLEROPHON of ancient Greek mythology. So the patron Saint of England is a GREEK HERO, not a Christian saint!

3:05 the map is wrong. You placed karachi which is in currnt Pakistan in Gujarat which is in current india

The Indians had established themselves as a vibrant cultural community in Jamaica by the 1930s when Rastafarianism began to take root. The cultural independence of the Indians from the whites appealed to the burgeoning urge of Afro-Jamaicans for an independent identity. Similar socio-economic status, familiarity from working alongside in the plantations and intermarriage assisted in the absorption. Affirming the same, Bob Marley’s granddaughter Donisha Prendergast, an actor, film-maker, poet and activist, says, “Sharing energy with the sadhus (ascetics) on the riverbank in Varanasi was parallel to the experience of being with the Rastaman in Jamaica. There’s an old connection between these cultures: when Indian indentured labourers were brought to the Caribbean plantations, they brought with them ideas of spirituality, spices and the beautiful plant that would become a central part of the Rastafari culture

Nazis ruin EVERYTHING.

I do like the Prinsenvlag, it's unique and not many countries incorporate orange into their national flags. But it's best reserved for historicity in film, or games. Because the NSB had to get their grubby mitts all over it, and it still gets appropriated by all kind of bigoted and treasonous people, it's just become an identifier for ideologies you will want to avoid now. It's also not like we're a country where we need to fly a flag to feel proud. Unless it's a holiday, or you graduated. Then you let it hang out with a pennant or school backpack, and buy a nice, creamy tompouce. Now that's a point of pride we can all relate to.

Back in the early 90's, I was just 8 or 9, my teacher who was late in his 60s told me how he loves the orange version and he hoped it would come back. He was a very nice teacher and because of him I loved that flag as well. Until junior high school, someone told me is was an anti dutch flag. And after your video I think my old teacher was maybe a baddie. I'm dutch living in the Netherlands

My Dutch wife and I talk about this a lot actually. I am constantly like, "Holland literally brings back Orange and goes BACK to monarchy while everyone else is killing their monarchs, yet keeps the rotated French flag... why not be different?!?" It is so sad that the NSB used this flag. In the US, we have something similar with the Gadsden Flag of yellow with the rattlesnake reading "Don't Tread on Me." This flag was 100% nothing but anti-England and pro-American revolution. Yet, a few nasty folks start using it at rallies and BAM, a great symbol of freedom is turned into a racist symbol ;(

Saimes are also Thai (Tai speakers) ethnic group

Apartheid apartheid

Because putting a St. Andrew’s cross on the Medieval one would just look silly.

Isn't the orange of the Republic of Ireland's flag related to the Prinsenvlag?

Not really a monstrous deal these days is it? I get that its a monarchist symbol but the Dutch monarchy is more democratic than most republics. I doubt hardcore reactionary monarchism is a political force in Amsterdam these days

💚❤️🩵

I think it’s also really important to note that we have taken alot from the Jamaican dialect during the slavery plantation work that saw a lot of north east men working in Jamaica for many years, as well as slave owners who brought many to the north east of England during the 17-1800’s South England mainly had African slaves whereas the north had mostly Jamaicans

the old flag definitely looked better

very interesting, never knew this history

I’d like to see the historical orange white and blue redone with a new design and education on its use including the racist and nationalist history. I’d like to see it reclaimed as a symbol of Dutch tolerance, equality, liberty and enlightenment.
