Common sense tells me that Catherine has not received the RFO yet - if she had have done, we would know. If and when she receives the Order, I have no doubt it will not contain ivory and will be made of porcelain or enamel or something.
I agree. It makes no sense to get the RFO and then not wear it.
Her husband is expected to wear an ermine mantle. Hundreds of little ermines were killed for it. What will William do?
Her husband has graduated from Sandhurst and is an officer, an Aide-de-Camp. Usually the handle of their ceremonual sword has an inlay of ivory. What will William do?
Etc. It is noble to stop ivory hunting but it makes no sense to ban all what is already in there. The dead animals will not come back to life, by banning.
