I believe all awards that contain kingdom precedence originate from the
crown, which needs no permission to give awards to its subjects.  As to
Principality awards that are non-precedential, I don't think that the
coronet of one principality would need to approval of another.  If approval
was required they could simple get the crown to give it.
