So, the King didn't know how to wear the Order of Leopold and found information on Wiki?
Sorry, I think I didn't get.

What I : wrote is what I heard during a lecture of a : Colonel about the Order of Leopold and : others. Thanks for correcting. Regards : : --Previous Message-- : Yes, but Albert had worn the Order of the : Elephant before, in 1968. And before the : Queen of Denmark paid a State Visit to him, : he had already visited her in Copenhagen and : wore the Order for 2 or 3 times during this : occasion. : : --Previous Message-- : It was since 1993 when he is King of the : Belgians. : : --Previous Message-- : Curiously, King Albert had already used his : Order of the Elephant in Copenhagen during : his State Visit to Denmark and in the 1960s : when his brother received the Danish King : & Queen. Back then there was no Wiki for : an answear. : : --Previous Message-- : : When Queen Fabiola was Queen Consort she : never wore sashes. : Will that mean that she refused to wear any : Order. I saw her wearing an order only for : Her Visit to the Pope when she was dressed : in white with white Mantilla : : In some Country the King has a more : important Order than the Queen Consort. : : Queen Paola adores Sashes if it was the most : precious Elephant , why She ?. : : A Colonel told us that during a State Visit : of the Royals of Denmark in Belgium The King : asked if the Elephant has to be showed on : the front or the other way. They found the : answer in Wiki. : : --Previous Message-- : If you compare photos of various elephants, : you will maybe notice that they vary in size : and shape, depending on their age. And some : have bigger diamonds than others, which : again means that some are more precious than : others. Of the elephants currently used, the : most valuable belongs to Queen Paola! : : : : : : : : : : : : : : :
