Ribbon of the Order

The Royal Family Order of George VI is an honour that was bestowed on female members of the British royal family by King George VI.

Princess Alexandra, The Hon. Lady Ogilvy is the last surviving member after the death of Elizabeth II in 2022.

Appearance

The insignia, an enamel portrait of the king surrounded by diamonds, is worn on a bow of rose pink ribbon.

It was provided in two different sizes: the larger version was bestowed on the King's wife and mother, and the second to the other recipients. The first examples were presented two days before the 1937 Coronation, at a family luncheon.
