Denmark Monarch's Portrait Order (Royal Family Order)

The "Ordensportrættet" (Portrait Order) is the Denmark Version of a Royal Family Order. The Portrait Order is a tradition of the Denmark Monarch since the 18th century. Female members of the Danish Royal Family wore the miniature portrait of the Sovereign in a diamond frame on their left shoulder. As the Order of the Elephant and other honors used to be restricted to men only, the Ordensportrættet often their own honor

The Portrait Order is a portrait of the monarch, set in a gold frame surrounded by diamonds. The bow is the Order of Dannebrog ribbon (White with red border), representing the national colours of Denmark. The frames are reused for future Portrait Orders, with the picture replaced. 

There can be multiple images of the monarch used for their Portrait Order.  New recipients usual receive a Order with a recent image.
