The Royal Family Order of King Haakon VII is an honorary distinction instituted by Haakon VII of Norway, who reigned from 1905 to 1957. This decoration was personally bestowed by the Sovereign upon female members of the Norwegian Royal Family as a formal recognition of their dedication, service, and steadfast loyalty to the Crown and the constitutional responsibilities of the Monarchy. Princess Astrid, Mrs. Ferner, remains the sole living recipient of this Order.
