Visit of the Prince and Princess of Wales to Ireland: the Collar and Badge of a Knight of St. Patrick, 1868. The future King Edward VII was invested into the Order of St Patrick in St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin. The collar was made of gold, consisting of Tudor roses and harps attached with knots. The two roses which comprise the Tudor rose were alternately enamelled white within red, and red within white. The central harp, from which the badge of the Order was suspended, was surmounted by a crown. From "Illustrated London News", 1868.
