Do You know what sash Mr Donaldson is wearing, please?
It’s the Order of the Dannebrog! https://royalwatcherblog.com/2018/04/16/danish-royal-orders/#2
Thank you so much!
What an excellent array of beautiful tiaras! Queen Margrethe looks stunning in that green gown and the magnificent Danish Emerald parure. That emerald tiara has to be the loveliest of its kind.
May Crown Prince Frederik and Princess Mary live happily together forever.
