I think that Zara & Autumn are almost certainly non starters in the Family order stakes. Neither does, nor ever will, attend State Banquets. She may give it to Beatrice & Eugenie but I also think that unlikely due to the plan to streamline the working family. Louise is not yet 18 so that certainly will not happen. IMO Catherine & Prince Harry's future wife will be the last two recipients in this reign and will, along with Camilla be the earliest recipients of King Charles 111 family order. --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.
