Rh The Cross of the first class is worn on the left breast; and that of the second and third, as also the two medals at the button-hole, suspended by a white watered ribbon with three black stripes, and about one and a half inches wide. The first class Cross is usually worn by the Prussian Knights of the Black Eagle below the star of that Order.

The Princes of the blood royal have the option of wearing either the first or the second class Cross. In the latter case, the Cross is covered with a crown, consisting of a golden circle, mounted by five leaves and four coronets, above which are joined three rings set with pearls, holding the imperial globe. Between the rings is a red velvet hat, which partially covers the crown.
