--Previous Message-- : 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 !! :
