I'd forgotten about the Danish Royal Family Order of King Frederik X!
Last year around the time when the diplomatic reception was held some reporters wrote on X that there will be and ChIIIFamily Order but that it wasn't ready yet. And often they get inside Informations from the PalaceThe only way to find out if he has created his own family order will be when people starts wearing it…
I thought it would be done in time for the coronation but it was not, so i don’t know when it can be expected… If he had decided to discontinue that tradition, i don’t think they would have continued to wear the QEII Family Order either but they have…
Just my random guess: maybe Spain will only give out the golden fleece when they are the host of the visit?What is our explanation He receive the Collar of the Order of Carlos III and not the Golden Fleece ?
Wonder why no exception was made for Queen Juliana who was the almost most senior monarch (the only who reigned longer was Prince Franz Josef of Liechtenstein) in Europe at the time King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia paid their State visit to the Netherlands in march 1980. It was then clear that she would not make a return Visit as she had already announced her abdication. Or was perhaps that the reason that 1 month later she would not a reigning monarch anymore?The exceptions are: Olav who received it in a incoming visit from Spain (probably because he was one of the most senior monarch at that time), Margrethe who got it after she had visited and received a visit from Spain (probably because the order is available for female after her two visits?), Henri who got it in an incoming visit after he had hosted a visit from Spain, and GD Jean who I found nothing.
It doesn't show the badge but I think he's wearing the chain of the gold fleece in 1994 here?King Albert II received the Collar of the Spanish Order of the Golden Fleece when King Juan Carlos and Queen Sofia came on State Visit in Belgium in 2000.
Thailand also has it.Order of the Royal Family:
United Kingdom:
Denmark:
Sweden:
Norway:
Why do only these royal families have this kind of order?
