When the Board of Directors instituted this Order, they let each kingdom choose three premiers, and set specific dates for when the choices could be announced, and when the premiers could be first raised (so that all premiers would be of equal order of precedence).
A side effect of this is while the premiers were all "read in" on the specified day, they had elevation ceremonies that were not necessarily held on that day. They all have equal precedence, but one can't see when their elevation ceremony was held via the OP, which is unusual. So, for posterity, here are the dates of their elevation ceremonies:

| Jacomina van Vossenbrouck | Jun 7, 2025 (AS LX) | Jun 7, 2025 (AS LX) | Tir Righ June Coronet |
