Prinz Alfons von Bayern wurde am 24.4.1880 - nach dem Erreichen der Volljährigkeit - als Großprior ad honores in den zweithöchsten bayerischen und berühmtesten aller Georgsorden aufgenommen. Die Insignien des Ordens erhielt der Prinz am selben Tag vom Ordens-Großmeister und Oberhaupt des Kgl. Hauses Wittelsbach S. M. König Ludwig II. Die Kette ist im Ordensschatz aufbewahrt. Der Orden existiert als Hausorden des Hauses Wittelsbach bis heute und wird in den Klassen Großprior, Großkomtur, Komtur und Ritter verliehen. Die Ordenskreuze werden vom 8.12. bis 23.4. mit der Jungfrau Maria, in der übrigen Zeit mit dem Heiligen Georg nach außen getragen.

Würbser, München" and the gold embossed cypher of Prince Alfons. Including leather case with light-blue and violet silk rep lining.

After reaching legal age, Prince Alfons of Bavaria was inaugurated as honorary Grand Prior to the second highest Bavarian and most famous of all Orders of St. George on 24.4.1880. The prince received the insignia of the order on the same day from the grand master and head of the royal house of Wittelsbach, H.M. King Ludwig II. The collar is kept in the treasury. The order is still existent today as House Order of the House of Wittelsbach and is awarded in the classes of Grand Prior, Grand Commander, Commander, and Knight. The order crosses are worn from 8. December to 23. April with the Virgin Mary facing to the front, and the rest of the year the other way around with St. George at front.
