Overview
On 12 March 1992 Mauritius became republic, but the independence flag didn’t change.

Queen Elizabeth II’s (former) personal flag for Mauritius, I guess.

I’m not so sure about this flag. I know that the Queen visited Mauritius in 1972, and may have visited again in 1988, but I’m not sure what flag she would have flown.

I came across this report from 1972, where it's flying at the front of her car - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkqIES4I8JA Brave of her to be standing up in an open-topped car!

Typical British pattern for G-G: Royal blue flag with royal crest and name of the state on golden ribbon.

Not to be confused it with the flag of the Governor which was used before independence.
