It has been pointed out on the Duchess Kate blog and on Sartorial Splendor that the Queen's family order is painted on ivory. Obviously, there is no way William and Catherine would agree to put a piece of ivory on her shoulder, next to the president of China, at the same time William is addressing the Chinese people about the ivory trade! I wonder whether she will ever wear it. The loan of the wedding bracelet is a wonderful mark of the Queen's respect and affection. In addition, it placed three crosses next to the Chinese president. Who knows whether that was a deliberate religious/cultural statement on the Queen's part, but it is interesting.
