I think it would be nice is HM presented her RFO to any of her grand-daughters, namely Zara, Beatrice, Eugenie and Louise as well as Catherine and maybe even Autumn Philips, who have not already received it (because ultimately, we do not know for sure !!) Currently there are only 6 Orders issued (that we know of) Princess Alexandra, Duchess of Gloucester, Duchess of Kent, Princess Royal, Duchess of Cornwall and Countess of Wessex. The other 8 so honoured are now deceased. Three of those are of the same generation as the Queen (her cousins(in-law)) and 3 from the next generation (her children(in-law)). I would like to see the QEII legacy extend to the next generation(s). I very much doubt the Queen would do this as an act of vanity but rather by her sense of history. I think she proudly wears her father's and grandfather's orders and may want to instill some of the sense of family pride to the younger royals. I think that Sept 9th would be a great day to do such a thing - but alas, HM is not one for such showiness !!
