Thank you Arthur for providing those great pictures...glitter in deed !
I hate to beleaguer this point but some one should provide some guidance for the wearing of orders.
While I hardly consider myself an expert, the placement of the badges seems to be so haphazard.
King Felipe is the only one who seems to have it right.
The President of Colombia wears his badge a bit high and the Colombian First Lady is wearing her badge far too high, almost as a brooch.
While I understand her desire for it to do double duty by holding her sash in place, The Queen's badge should be placed further to her left and higher, just under her rib cage. No doubt the integrity of HM's gown is also being taken into consideration as these badges would have considerable weight to them.
It is quite noticeable when they are all lined up in a group - as I mentioned below....a bit sloppy looking....IMHO.
