I don't know whether Princess Alice Duchess of Gloucester, widow of Prince Henry has a standard, or whether their first son William did. (The pattern
suggests this would have been: The Royal Standard for England differenced with a white label with five pendants, with red lions and St. George
crosses.)

M. Schmöger posted this standard. It is a royal standard, whose label
consists of five points which bear the St. George's Cross alternating with the
red lion. At

banner is identified as the standard of the [Second] Duke of Gloucester.

In 1963, the late Duke of Gloucester, son of King George V and uncle of the
present Queen, was still alive. Hence the three points [red cross-red lion-red
cross] shown upon his label at
this date. He died in 1974, whereupon he was succeeded by his younger son,
Prince Richard, his elder son, Prince William having previously been killed in
an aeroplane accident. Prince Richard is the present Duke of Gloucester and, as
a grandson of a sovereign (George V), has five points [red cross-red lion-red
cross-red lion-red cross] upon his label. The
photograph you attach shows the standard of the present [Second] Duke of Gloucester.
