In Portugal there is a monarchic party, the PPM,
and there is a number of monarchics that do not see themselves reflected in
the party. The flag of PPM is very seldom seen, but a modern rendition of
the pre-1910 Portuguese national flag appears in
great numbers whenever the monarchics get together. Recent occasions were:
the marriage of D. Duarte, the present dinastic representative of the
Portuguese royal house (Casa de Bragança) and the baptism of his two
childs so far.

I spotted one of these flags side by side with the
national flag (a rather strange sighting,
considering the politics envolved) and in fact the blue-white was a lot
wider than the green-red, not being much longer.

1667-1816 flags (royal arms on plain
white) also appear in monarchic gatherings, related to the so called
“integralist” branch.
