The Royal Standard flying over Buckingham Palace, seen in 2006. Before Diana's death, the Royal Standard was the only flag flown at Buckingham Palace.
Their rigid adherence to protocol, and their concern to care for Diana's grieving sons, was interpreted by some as a lack of compassion.
In particular, the refusal of Buckingham Palace to fly the Royal Standard at half-mast provoked angry headlines in newspapers. "Where is our Queen? Where is her Flag?" asked The Sun.[30]
.The Palace's stance was one of royal protocol: no flag could fly over Buckingham Palace, as the Royal Standard is only flown when the Queen is in residence, and the Queen was then in Scotland.^ The Field Of Flowers has ten 10ft metal dandelion clocks, designed by Historic Royal Palaces artist-in-residence Sophie Layton.

 Furthermore, the Royal Standard never flies at half-mast as it is the Sovereign's flag and there is never a dead Sovereign (the new monarch immediately succeeds his or her predecessor).
.Finally, as a compromise, the Union Flag was flown instead, at half-mast, as the Queen left for Westminster Abbey on the day of Diana's funeral.^ This is the complete order of service and content of the funeral of Diana, Princess of Wales, on Saturday September 6 at Westminster Abbey at 11.00 BST .

Notes

  1. ^ Operation Paget Report, chapter six, page 421: "Operation Paget's view is that none of the seat belts were being worn at the time of the impact, including that of Trevor Rees-Jones. From the nature of marks found on his seat belt, it is considered unlikely that he was even in the process of attempting to put it on at all at the time of the crash."[14]
  2. ^ Trevor Rees-Jones, the sole survivor of the crash: "I think I've been told that I wasn't wearing a seat belt. I assume that's been misreported, that the airbag must have saved me on the initial impact, but then my face and chest hit the dashboard when the car was pushed around."[15]
