 The Monarchy Today > Queen and public > Honours > Royal Family Orders
George IV started the formal practice of presenting Family Orders, or portraits of the Sovereign set in diamonds suspended from a ribbon.
George IV's successors continued this practice, with most sovereigns presenting jewelled portraits of themselves suspended on different coloured ribbon for each monarch - that of George V was white, that of George VI was rose pink, and The Queen's is chartreuse yellow.
The Orders are now worn on formal occasions by female members of the Royal Family only.
