Just saw Angela Lansbury and Penelope Keith on the BBC taking about their new 'Damehoods'.
 
Lynda Bellingham is on the list! Helen Herriot at the Palace!

Sir Marcus Setchell, the doctor who helped delivered Prince George last July, is to be knighted at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday.
 
Apparent William is doing the investiture today so he gets to knight Sir Marcus which is neat.

Prince William today knighted Sir Marcus Setchell, the royal doctor who delivered George, and spoke about his bouncing baby boy.

William had an animated conversation at a Buckingham Palace investiture with Sir Marcus after knighting him with a ceremonial sword.

Australia to reintroduce Knights and Dames as the highest level of the Order of Australia.

The first to be so knighted will be the outgoing Governor-General - Quentin Bryce - to be Dame Quentin Bryce. Strange that she would accept such an honour - given that she is a confirmed republican and even made that comment while being the Queen's official representative in Australia.

Tony Abbott reintroduces knight and dame honours for Australians

The incoming GG will be the first new knight - so Sir Peter Cosgrove while Quentin Bryce will be the first Dame - Dame Quentin Bryce.

Others who will be eligible will be State Governors, chiefs of the defence forces and chief justices but not politicians.

Doubt that this will go down well in Australia.

If the actual changes to the statutes of the Order of Australia are made before Friday, it sounds like she'll become a dame automatically.

The Queen has made one of Camilla's aides, Amanda MacManus a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order. (She can do this independently of gov)
 
Did Robert Hardy get a knighthood? I see Maggie Smith is getting something- yay!
 
I read tonight that Maggie Smith is going to be made a companion of honor.
Awesome! Just what is a companion of honor?
An award her Majesty gives out to her girlfriends? I jest.:lol:
Really disappointed Robert Hardy was not knighted. Guess I will have to write more letters.
It would be wonderful if he was made a KBE.
Could he also be made a companion of honor, or a knight of the Garter?
Which are the honors that her Majesty has control over, and which ones are the ones that the government awards?
Frankly, I am shocked that her Majesty hasn't given him a position in an honor she has control over.
They've met a few times, and she seems to like him.
Somebody better make up their mind soon. He's not going to live forever.
 
Here you go - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_of_the_Companions_of_Honour

Robert Hardy could be awarded any number of honour government backed or not. When the honours come out twice a year, I believe they are a joint "venture" between Queen and government.

Robert Hardy won't ever be made a knight of the garter, there's no need.

Whether The Queen likes him or not makes no difference, all awards are dependent upon servitude of some kind to some service.
 
Has anyone considered the possibility that he has been offered a knighthood and turned it down? The recipients are notified some time in advance and are able to say 'no thanks'.

Thank you for the information. Wouldn't it be :lol: and :cool: if Maggie Smith showed up to collect her honor in her Lady Grantham costume, hat and all?:lol: I think Prince William should be the one to give it to her.
He and Kate are supposedly big Downton Abbey fans. They have good taste.

The Queen gave former NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg an honourary knighthood today (KBE).
 
Brilliant! Congrats Dame Maggie! You deserve it!
Or should I say m'lady!
Now if Robert Hardy could finally get a knighthood- if he accepts one...

Why Joan Collins? She is up there and still attractive but she does not have an award winning body of work? Does she do a lot of charity work?
