The picture was made in Madrid, when Ferenc Mádl, president of Hungary visited to Spain from 01-31-2005 to 02-03.

Does anyone know what sash Queen Elizabeth II is wearing in this picture - http://img2.allposters.com/images/MMPH/263831.jpg ?

See this post from the Italian State Visit in 2005.
From this site it appears to be the Sash and Decorations of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic.

Does anybody have photos of the Order of the Thistle sash? I can't seem to find any member of the British Royal Family wearing it.

Prince Philip wears it almost every time at the opening of the parliament.
Princess Anne has worn it at the 70th birthday celebrations of king Harald in Oslo.

The sashes of Denmark and Sweden are of the same colour, but they are two different orders. The Danish order of the elephant is one of the eldest in the world( mid-sixteen hundreds) and the Swedish order of the Serafim is investet after the first Bernadotte took the throne of sweden in late 17 hundreds. If you look at the pictures they are worn in diff directions.

The norm is, that when you make a state visit to another country as head of state, you will receive the finest order of the country. If your host has been to your country the person will wear your finest order in respect. Sometimes other familymembers can have foreign orders ie crownprinses and crownprincesses as well, and they to will wear the visitors order.

Look fx at royal weddings, if you have an order from the country in question, you will wear it. If not you will wear the finest one of your own country. Again as a matter of respect.

This is why we see different royals wearing "each others" sashes

He's not wearing the sash though. I'll look up King Harald's birthday party and see if I can find the picture of Princess Anne wearing it.
Found it, finally! Its a lovely colour actually. It should be worn more often.

Why would they wear the Thistle instead of the Garter sash? Shouldn't it only have precedence in Scotland as the Garter is the more senior order nationwide?

[Madame Royale]

HRH the Princess Royal wore the Order of the Thistle in honour (recognition) of King Olav of Norway, who was created the first foreign Knight of the order in 1962 by statute.

Here are the photos of Princess Anne

The Swedish Serafimerorden was invested in 1748 by King Fredrik I. Jean Baptiste Bernadotte was elected crown prince in May 1810 and arrived in Sweden in October same year. He became King Carl XIV Johan in 1818.

Nothing to do with the Bernadottes at all.

Dear Thomasine,
I stand corrected. You are so right.

If you look very closely at the picture i posted, Prince Phillip is wearing the green sash of the Order of The Thistle. Exactly as Princess Anne is in the picture you posted.

what does it mean? How many type it has
RM mean royal member. I saw that the men and women wear different color and width sash. does it different type sash for different people?

[MrsHart]

Does anyone know how the protocol decides which order/sash the Queen wears when receiving a state visit?

[Lumutqueen]

Each country has their own sash, so if it's the Swedish RF on a state visit, then HM will wear the sash from that country. I believe. If there is no sash, she might wear one of her own.

There's a thread about the different sashes

[MrsHart]

Thanks for answering, but in the 'sashes thread' (#302 for example), people seem to think the opposite -that the visiting guests are choosing sashes depending on which country they are visiting. How is it then that the Queen (Elizabeth II) seems to wear different sashes when receiving different state visits? I'm very confused.
