Because Wales (a principality) was politically incorporated into the state of England (a kingdom) in the 13th century, rather than being a union of two equal kingdoms. So the Union flag includes the flags of the three kingdoms (England Scotland and [Northern] Ireland).
By the way Kim it's only called the Union Jack when flying from the jackstaff of a Royal naval ship,in all other cases it's just The Union Flag.
I thought it was the flags of St.George, St.Andrew and St.David. Which would be England, Scotland and Wales. I always thought Ireland was part of the English kingdom. We've had prince of Wales, and Scotland but I don't remember any from Ireland.
No Gary Mann - a diagonal blue cross on a white background is St Patricks flag
whoops meant red diagonal on white background - sorry St Patrick!
This Site shows you all about the flag and how to draw it!
quite simple kim the english care very little for the culture and significance of anywhere outside of their own little boundries.
Errrr, Rufio, the Union flag isn't the ENGLISH flag. what on earth are you talking about?

What the hell! Wales is far more supreme than SCUMLAND (BETTER KNOWN AS EN**AND) which is why we are not in it. Shove that up your chariots and smoke it.

Wales defeated England in a Fast and Open Game. We won the Grand Slam and England were never seen again. 11-9 Welsh Army. Wales Forever, Diolch yn Fawr.

All the Best with you Flags

Murph!
