Ribbon of the order

The Royal Family Order of Edward VII is an honour that was bestowed as a mark of personal esteem on female members of the British royal family by King Edward VII. The order is a personal memento rather than a state decoration.

Appearance

The ribbon of Edward VII's Royal Family Order is based on his racing colours. They are (working outwards in) a red stripe, almost half the size of the centre stripe, a thin gold stripe, about one-fifth of the red stripe, and a blue stripe, almost double the red stripe. The red gold pattern is mirrored on both sides. [1]
