The unveiling of the new King Charles III’s Family Order comes nearly two years after Charles, the longest serving heir to the throne, acceded as monarch following the death of his mother.Family Orders badges are worn at formal evening occasions by female members of the royal family, and are a sign of the importance of the wearer within the royal household.
But Charles has modernised some of the elements of his own, while keeping to the traditional appearance.His miniature portrait is painted on a synthetic material called polymin, rather than on ivory as was the tradition, and the diamonds are spare ones – existing loose jewels from the Royal Collection rather than newly acquired.
Charles personally selected the pale blue colour of the ribbon which is based on the bow on the Family Order of his great-grandfather King George V.
