    If you look carefully you can see that both King Paul & Prince Philip are also wearing their medals on the right hand side of their jackets - the male version is larger - as can be seen on the photo posted above of King Constantine with his medal

    : You can see that the design ties into the
    : close-up of Queen Anne-Marie's brooch as

    : I have fond this picture of Queen Anne-Marie
    : of Greece who seems to wearing the same
    : brooch.
    :
    : Maybe it is commerative or related to the
    : Order of the Redeemer?
    :
    : Any of our Greek experts have any
    : suggestions?

    : The picture is also the first photo in the
    : hardcover Fields ed. 1987, opposite the
    : title page. I wonder whether the brooch has
    : a Greek significance, since the picture is
    : from the return banquet during a Greek state
    : visit in 1963. Possibly a Greek gift, or
    : from Prince Philip's family??
