Can't explain why, but I thought of the Diamond Diadem, to be flashing so much in a five minute walk down a corridor. And she had two pages so it must be the parliamentary robe or Garter regalia. All very puzzling. All in all I can't think it will have any Australian order. Must now wait and see. : --Previous Message-- : : Today's press has news of a portrait!!
