Queen Beatrix with a different sash than the Dutch one.
That's because Albert wore uniform and he, like many of the men present, wore morning dress. one does not wear a sash with morning dress. And he is recognized by all of the royal houses as the head of the house of Hanover.Originally posted by kittencrews@Nov 26th, 2003 - 12:15 am
I have many questions... maybe you can answer them... okay... first...
It's my understanding that Prince Ernst isn't recognized by many royals as being a "royal" even though he would be King of Britain if Salic Law had prevailed... so he isn't even rcognized by his own "cousins" as a royal?? Am I right?? At the Queen Mum's funeral he didn't wear a sash... but Albert did...
Oh, you're very welcome!!Originally posted by kittencrews@Nov 26th, 2003 - 12:33 pm
Awww... Thank you Sean.~
Sean has already answered this one - Queen Margrethe did wear the sash of the Order of the Elephant. The Danish royal family has the tradition of giving the Grand Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog (Denmark's 2nd Order) to parents-in-law of those who marry Danish Princes/Princesses. Thus Richard Manley wore the sash of the Order of the Dannebrog. I don't know why it was not given to his wife.Originally posted by beebee@Nov 26th, 2003 - 1:41 am

At Alexandra and Joachim's wedding, Alexandra's father wore a white sash lined in red. As far as I could tell, her mother didn't wear one, but then neither did Margrethe; Joachim, Frederik, and Henrik, of course, all wore the customary light blue sash. (I do see a few occasions when men wear sashes and women seem not to - I suppose this was one of them.) At the time, I thought the RF just bestowed sashes upon non-royals so their tuxedos wouldn't look so plain, but perhaps not! Can anyone tell me about this colorless sash?

It is important to note that these rules (from Debrett's) only applies to the wearing of Orders and Decorations in the United Kingdom. Many of the rules are similar in other countries also, but there are several major differences.Originally posted by norwegianne@Dec 17th, 2003 - 8:36 pm
Some links of various royal's and their orders/sashes.
A guide from Debrett's on what orders should be worn at what kind of occasion.
