From the BBC article.

Jason Knauf, a former royal aide who worked for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as well as the then-Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, has been recognised for his service to the monarchy by being named a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (RVO).

It is significant to note that the RVO, unlike for example the Order of the British Empire, is in the personal gift of the monarch, rather than being awarded on the recommendation of the government.

A couple that stood out for me from the "celebrity" list were Rachel Riley for her work in Holocaust education and David Harewood for his Black and British documentaries. Obviously Brian May etc etc. Also nice to see some of Princess Anne's aides getting recognition.

Agreed. That is notable. Very nice to see JK on the list. Speaks volumes.

I mean he's more than the person who provided proof for Associated News. He was a high level aide who did a good job (And apparently was the one who realised and was willing to start doing something about the fact staff had no recourse against "principals"). And worked a lot for The Royal Foundation.

Nevertheless the fact that he was given an order by the King's own wishes is significant.

Oh yes. He absolutely is. His entire resume is very impressive.

Pretty fabulous. Which is standard for Sir Grayson Perry. Congrats!
