I was just wondering why it seems that the wives of the British Royal family does not seem to receive other Royal orders like the other wives do? I do not think that Camilla has any. Diana received one and I am not sure about Sophie. Does the BRF just get left out because they do not interact with the other royal houses as much. Just a question, what do you think? I think that Camilla needs so orders, she is the wife of the future King.

What kind of an order is the Duke of Edinburgh wearing at the funeral of king Baudouin. The other kings and cosorts are wearing the Leopold order and as far as I know the Duke has it, too. I wonder why he chose to wear this other Belgian(?) order....

I think is a old Belgian order, from when has got many Belgian territories.

As far as I can tell, the only Belgian order Philip has is the Order of Leopold, and I can't find any Belgian order that looks like that.

The valet made an error and for 'Leopold' read 'Leopard' so the Duke of Edinburgh found himself with an order from Zaire with no time to get the correct one.
See this post from the King Baudouin Funeral thread for the details.

I don't believe there is any place that would sell them. The bottom three are all Royal Family Orders and the top one is the Order of the Crown of India.

Hello! Do you know what were the Decorations and Orders during the times of the Pahlavi Dynasty in Iran?

Regards!

My favourite order insignia is the Order of Australia, of which Queen Elizabeth II is Sovereign. I find the design very eye-catching. The insignia can be seen on Wikipedia at Order of Australia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

5 little rows of small decorations (barette) belonging to Prince Axel of Danemark and the one of his son Prince Georg were sold on May 18th at Drouot /Paris +/- 1.300 € each. Two sashes of St Olaf of Norway one 50 € and the other 100€ !

To Warren , you are absolutely right about the error of Leopold/Leopard sash at King Baudouin 's funerals.
When the Duke arrived in the morning of the funerals, at the air-plane there was a big consternation among the military people who were there but no one had the high level enough to ask the Duke to change.
In the Church he should have seen that the RF and Royals were wearing the amarante sash of the Leopold's Order...
