Yes, I remember all of the "to do" over the Duchess's orders at the Vatican.
I too remember reading stories about the Princess Alice, Countess of Althone who kept her orders in an old biscuit tin and was maybe not as diligent as she should have been when deciding which order to wear.
But, then again, it they did not do these sorts of things, what would we have to talk about !!??!!
Thanks for you input yet again. Cheers! Bryce
