The largest medal on Princess Elisabeth is the Danish Order of Merit in silver, i have read - sorry, no source - that she is particularly proud of this medal, as it is the only one she has "earned" by working 40 years in the Danish Foreign Ministry. Her other medals and orders are all because she is a princess of Denmark. And concerning her coronation brooch: I have also read that that brooch was given to the Russian Grand Duchesses that had married into European reigning houses, like Queen Alexandrine's mother Anastasia. --Previous Message-- : So to see it are commemorative medals, just : like King Christian X 100th Birthday Medal, : Queen Margrethe II's Accesion Medal, Queen : Margrethe II's Silver Jubilee Medal. : : Just a guess. :
