The Order of the Elephant (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Elephant) as it is the highest monarchial Order of Denmark is comparable to the United Kingdoms Order of the Garter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Garter) and in some way also to the Order of the Thistle (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Thistle)
