On another “honours” note, I also noticed that both the The Duchess of Edinburgh and The Duchess of Gloucester were wearing their breast stars (RVO for Sophie and Garter for Birgitte) on their right side as opposed to the left (where is should be).
I am not sure why they have done this - perhaps they felt that the left side of the ensemble was a bit weighty so they moved it over – but The Princess Royal managed to wear her two RFOs and three breast stars (Garter, Thistle and RVO) correctly all on her left side.
In recent years, for some reason the position for ladies wearing breast stars shifted down to waist level and even lower than that on occasion. For them to now shift from left side to right is all too much, in my view. They really should not be treated simply as brooches.
