$a The Order of St Michael and St George had been founded in 1818 by the Prince Regent (afterwards King George IV) to honour persons of the Ionian Islands and Malta and 'such other subjects of His Majesty as may hold high and confidential situations in the Mediterranean'. But in 1864 the Ionian Islands became part of Greece; and in 1868 the order was reconstituted to honour colonial officers and 'services rendered to the Crown in relation to the foreign affairs of the Empire', and it now honours persons who have rendered service to the British Crown in relation to Commonwealth or foreign nations. The first Grand Masters of the order were Sir Thomas Maitland (1818-24) and HRH the Duke of Cambridge (1825-50); the first Prelates were Archbishop Macarios of the Ionian Islands (1818-27) and Archdeacon Giuseppe Bartolomeo Xerri of Malta (1818-21). The plates show insignia and mantles of the order. They are printed in color. |
