Hi, I'm Jackie. I'm pretty sure you know me already, but in any case it's nice to meet in person. I'd like to talk a little bit about my little group.
I wouldn't call myself our leader in any real sense, but I certainly am our oldest member. We used to have more members, but currently it's only five of us with full membership. In addition we have many junior members, most of whom are children of full members.
Now, some info about us. I won't bother describing myself – I'm pretty prominent so you're probably familiar with how I look like. I will say that I have a lot of children, and many of them are junior members in our group.
As for the others, I'll tell you that one of them carries a shield with him. He's by no means a soldier, though, and you can tell that just by looking at his shield.
Another member carries a picture of himself with him, although it's pretty well disguised and at first glance you'd think that it's something else entirely.
Two of the others carry crosses, but don't think it's because they're religious. It's more of a symbol of where they're from than anything else. One of them has been thinking about leaving our little group, but I think he's decided to stay for now. It's his decision either way, of course.
Who are we?
Hint:
For fun, I asked the other four members what their favourite colour was. It seems each of them likes some shade of blue.

You are
Great Britain/UK (Union Jack/Jackie). Your children are your former colonies. The group is NATO
one of them carries a shield with him.
The United States, whose shield contains olive branches, symbol of peace
Another member carries a picture of himself with him, although it's pretty well disguised and at first glance you'd think that it's something else entirely.
Not sure on this one
Two of the others carry crosses, but don't think it's because they're religious. It's more of a symbol of where they're from than anything else.
Norway, Iceland and Denmark have crosses on their flag
One of them has been thinking about leaving our little group
Trump has made this threat about the US leaving

Another member carries a picture of himself with him, although it's pretty well disguised and at first glance you'd think that it's something else entirely.
I think is Republic of Ireland, the flag is orange, green, and white, so might refer to a Leprechaun that has ginger/orange hair, white face, and green clothes.
Two of the others carry crosses, but don't think it's because they're religious. It's more of a symbol of where they're from than anything else.
Scotland and Northern Island have diagonal crosses on their flags.
One of them has been thinking about leaving our little group
There was a Scottish referendum about leaving the UK but they (closely) voted no.
However,
That leaves out Wales, so exact guessing of each clue may be wrong.

Great answer! It’s possible too that the symbol on the flag of your however country represents the shield instead of the one you identified; I think you’re absolutely right that the second one ought to be included! I love the reasoning for the rest! :)

Is it
The United Nations, and Jackie is the UK
I wouldn't call myself our leader in any real sense, but I certainly am our oldest member. We used to have more members, but currently it's only five of us with full membership. In addition we have many junior members, most of whom are children of full members.
5 leaders of the UNSC, 5 founding members of the UN, junior members/children being ex colonies/freed states.
Now, some info about us. I won't bother describing myself – I'm pretty prominent so you're probably familiar with how I look like. I will say that I have a lot of children, and many of them are junior members in our group.
The UK's former colonies, so children
As for the others, I'll tell you that one of them carries a shield with him. He's by no means a soldier, though, and you can tell that just by looking at his shield.
possibly "The United States, whose shield contains olive branches, symbol of peace" From @SteveV's answer. Also possibly the French unofficial emblem which also features olive branches.
Another member carries a picture of himself with him, although it's pretty well disguised and at first glance you'd think that it's something else entirely.
Possibly the PRC, The red and stars are all about the communist uprising, which certainly is a big part of their identity
Two of the others carry crosses, but don't think it's because they're religious. It's more of a symbol of where they're from than anything else. One of them has been thinking about leaving our little group, but I think he's decided to stay for now. It's his decision either way, of course.
Possibly the UK for the different crosses of the individual countries, and maybe the crosses on the Russian coat of arms, for the imperial history of Russia

Your symbolism interpretation for the second members symbol is pretty insulting (speaking as a native of that member). It’s also likely just wrong.

Great answer! It’s possible too that the symbol on the flag of your however country represents the shield instead of the one you identified; I think you’re absolutely right that the second one ought to be included! I love the reasoning for the rest! :)

The United Nations, and Jackie is the UK
I wouldn't call myself our leader in any real sense, but I certainly am our oldest member. We used to have more members, but currently it's only five of us with full membership. In addition we have many junior members, most of whom are children of full members.
5 leaders of the UNSC, 5 founding members of the UN, junior members/children being ex colonies/freed states.
Now, some info about us. I won't bother describing myself – I'm pretty prominent so you're probably familiar with how I look like. I will say that I have a lot of children, and many of them are junior members in our group.
The UK's former colonies, so children
As for the others, I'll tell you that one of them carries a shield with him. He's by no means a soldier, though, and you can tell that just by looking at his shield.
possibly "The United States, whose shield contains olive branches, symbol of peace" From @SteveV's answer. Also possibly the French unofficial emblem which also features olive branches.
Another member carries a picture of himself with him, although it's pretty well disguised and at first glance you'd think that it's something else entirely.
Possibly the PRC, The red and stars are all about the communist uprising, which certainly is a big part of their identity
Two of the others carry crosses, but don't think it's because they're religious. It's more of a symbol of where they're from than anything else. One of them has been thinking about leaving our little group, but I think he's decided to stay for now. It's his decision either way, of course.
Possibly the UK for the different crosses of the individual countries, and maybe the crosses on the Russian coat of arms, for the imperial history of Russia

Is it just me, or does Captain America become the first one to mind at the mention of "shield"? But we know he's a soldier... if only he wasn't... hmmm :
