(Repeat) WARNING AND CLARIFICATION regarding use of improper insignia. It has been reported to the Secretariat that some members of the order have been using insignia at events that is not authorized.

We hereby warn and clarify once again that since the year 2000 the use of the crown on any and all of the various insignia of the Order of Saint Michael is only allowed for those members of the Chancellery or people with a representative position or charge in the Royal Brotherhoods such as Patrons, Judges, Delegates and Chaplains. No one else may wear the crown on the insignia without any exception!

In the year 2000 the order adopted the medieval original insignia without crown but since then many have persisted in using the crown on insignia. The unauthorized use of the crown on insignia is considered ursurpation of representative charge and merits expulsion as per the norms.

All those members of the Royal Brotherhood who are wearing such unauthorized insignia are ordered to immediately remove the crown so as to avoid any unpleasant and embarrassing situations.

Following this warning anyone who continues to perpetrate such abuse will be immediately and publicly expelled without any previous or official notification.

If you have obtained the wrong insignia please contact the authorized supplier for a. exchange or modification.

For further clarification please contact the Secretariat: [email protected]
