I have a question that I just cannot seem to get an answer to , so of course I will post it here ! The mantle of the Order if the Thistle is a dark green velvet , why did the Pss Royal wear a mantle of a light green colour in 2022, her brother Charles wore the dark green mantle . ( her mantle at the Coronation was the dark green )...I have checked and double checked ( via the internet and my reference books ) and just cannot figure it out ! Can someone help ?

I've been trying to find any news of a Cathedral service for the Order of the Thistle.
The King appointed the Queen to the Order in early June and I'd expect an installation soon.
The Order of the Thistle Service is held 'Every Other Year'. The Service was held in St Giles Cathedral last year. So, I doubt that there will be a Service for the Order this year. Particulary with the Service of Thanksgiving being held.
