Emblems
The Royal Crown
The Royal Crown of Navassa is a heraldic emblem rather than a physical one. The Crown of Navassa features traditional symbolism such as golden arches. However, it also includes unique symbols important to Navassa. The phoenixes rising from flames symbolize rebirth and renewal - a nod to the Arms of Henry Christophe, later King Henry I of Haïti, who is a cognatic ancestor of the Royal Family. A seashell represents Navassa as a maritime-inspired kingdom and also directly connects to the Royal & Hospitaller Order of Our Lady of the Seas, of which The Queen is Sovereign.
The Royal Crown is an important symbol of the Sovereign’s authority, the Navassan monarchy, and the Chancellery acting in the Sovereign’s name.
The Royal Coat of Arms
The Royal Coat of Arms of the Kingdom of Navassa is a testament to heritage, spirit, and the oceanic heart of the realm.
The quartered shield features a crowned mermaid, sounding a shell—representing Our Lady of the Seas. She is both guardian and guide, her call echoing across the three territories of the Kingdom, represented by the trio of crowned golden shells upon the shield.
The arms are supported by two red-footed boobys, native to Navassa, who embody grace, resilience, and balance with nature.
Above, the royal crown represents unity under sovereignty; below, the national motto reads: “La Sagesse est la Force,” or Wisdom is Strength.
Together, these elements form an emblem of the Kingdom’s enduring faith in wisdom, the sea, and the spirit of its people.
Flag of Navassa
The Flag of Navassa, also known as Sirène Royale, is the kingdom’s foremost emblem of sovereignty. Inspired by the Royal Coat of Arms, it features a white cross extending to all four edges, dividing the field into four blue cantons. Gold-crowned mermaids fill the upper-hoist and lower-fly cantons. Three white scallop shells fill each of the other two cantons.
The flag stands as a declaration of Navassa’s enduring heritage, its oceanic roots, and the guiding presence of its monarchy.
Royal Standard
The Royal Standard is the Sovereign’s personal flag, displayed on every building or vehicle they are in. It is a bicolored white-and-blue field with the Coat of Arms at the center encircled by the badge and sash of the Royal & Hospitaller Order of Our Lady of the Seas.
