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, there are 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. An seashell represents Navassa as a maritime-inspired kingdom, and also a direct connection to the Most Royal & Illustrious Order of the Simbi, of which The Queen is Sovereign of the Order.
The Royal Crown is an important symbol of the Sovereign’s authority, the Navassian 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 islands 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. Featuring a vertical bicolor of white-azure field, the flag reflects Navassa’s identity as a maritime nation. At its center rests the Arms of the Royal House of Navassa surmounted by the Royal Crown and encircled by the Sash of the Most Royal & Illustrious Order of Our Lady of the Seas.
The flag stands as a declaration of Navassa’s enduring heritage, its oceanic roots, and the guiding presence of its monarchy.
The Royal Standard
The Royal Standard is the personal flag of the Sovereign. It is similar to the Sirène Royale, with the exception of the full achievement of the Royal Coat of Arms.
The Royal Standard is flown only in the presence of the Monarch: at royal residences, aboard vessels, or during official ceremonies, signifying that the Crown itself is present.
