The Sultan (Duli Yang Maha Mulia)'s flag appears at the Selangor Official Website.

Further down in that webpage, just above the picture of the crown prince and regent (Raja Muda), there is a coat-of-arms-like image, white on a green field. I wonder if this is the central element (or maybe the emblem on the fly) of a green flag (perhaps with red canton with white crescent and star) which would be the regent's flag.

The yellow crescent and star of the Selangor flag was changed to white 30 January 1965 according to Whitney Smith.
Jaume Ollé, 23 September 1997
According to Flaggenbuch 1939 [neu39], the former flag had indeed a yellow crescent and star, also the crescent was thinner and the star much smaller. It was also (and is still?) used by the Sultan. Dorling-Kindersley 1997 [udk97] shows an erroneous [current] flag with yellow crescent and star.

According to Flaggenbuch 1939 [neu39], the flag of the British Resident was identical to the national flag but forked.
