Contemporary Britain still retains the royal system, and similarly, it also continues the award ceremony, in this way to maintain the relationship between the royal family and the elites in various fields.

Every year, the Prime Minister, Cabinet, Foreign Office and governments/governments of the Commonwealth of Nations can submit an audited list of awards, which is then reviewed by the Royal Family and finally decided by the Queen, aiming to reward those who have done a good job for the United Kingdom. Those who have made important contributions are given a grand and formal recognition by the royal family. All citizens can be included in the award range, which is also the highest honor for ordinary British citizens.

The list of awards will be announced twice a year, the king's birthday and the new year, and each award ceremony is a major celebration that has attracted much attention.

Among them, different honorary titles represent different importance, and some titles even last for centuries, comparable to the current hereditary nobility.

The whole award level is very complicated, first of all, it can be divided into knighthood and non-knighthood.

The non-knightly medals include the Medal of Merit and the Order of Honor. The former was established in 1902. It is different from the traditional medal and does not have any title, but it is recognized as the most noble and has not been abolished. The latter was established in 1917. The level is slightly lower than the former, and there are only 47 living people, including three actors, Maggie Smith, Judi Dench and Ian McLean.

On the whole, non-knightly medals are relatively rare and not widely known to the general public, but their preciousness and importance are not compromised.

The Order of Knights covers seven levels of different orders, arranged from high to low: Order of the Garter, Order of Thistle, Order of St. Patrick, Order of Bath, Order of St. Michael and St. George, Order of the Royal Victoria, Order of the British Empire medal.

Among them, the oldest Order of the Garter was established in 1348. There are currently only 24 members alive, all of which are awarded directly by the Queen without the Prime Minister's suggestion or nomination. The main recipients are members of the royal family, such as the Queen herself, such as Prince William, and then Prince Charles, and so on, and there have been two non-royal members in history, the two former British Prime Ministers Margaret-Sarah Mrs Chell and John-major.

It is no exaggeration to say that the status of each Order of the Garter surpasses that of most hereditary nobles. Although the two cannot and need not be equal, but in terms of honor and prestige, the existence of the Order of the Garter is itself transcendent. .

The Order of the Thistle is Scotland's highest honor, mainly awarded to the monarchs of other countries; the Order of St Patrick belongs to Ireland, but was abolished in 1922; the Order of Bath is mainly awarded to senior officers and senior civil servants.

The Order of St Michael and St George is mainly awarded to senior government officials, but Angelina Jolie has been awarded this order for opposition/**** and a British diplomatic citizen, but because she is not a British citizen , so not a Dame, but an Honorary Dame.

The Royal Victorian Medal is mainly awarded to the people who serve the monarch; finally, the Order of the British Empire, established in 1917, is the most familiar one, mainly used to recognize people who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of art, science, charity and public service. This is also the place where the actors, writers, artists and celebrities most known to the general public gather to be honored.

The above seven kinds of medals are all the ranks of the British Knights of Honor, but there are huge differences between the ranks and meanings. Most of the celebrities' medals are the lowest level of the British Empire Medal.

Some celebrities accept honors in a high-profile manner, but in fact they only get a small medal equivalent to the level of internal secretaries or clerks of the royal family; while some actors seem to be low-key and calm, but they have won top honors comparable to the Medal of Merit during the war. These details are very important for It is unknown to outsiders, but for the royal family there is an important difference.

Although it is said that the Order of the British Empire is the lowest level of all knighthoods, in fact, the Order of the British Empire is divided into five levels, and the status and level are also different.

The first is the Grand Cross of the knighthood, mainly in the military, political/political, royal family, parliamentarians, and chairman of the group. At present, no celebrity in the film and television art world has won such a medal.

The second is the Order of the Knight Commander. This is the highest medal that most entertainers can obtain. Don't underestimate it. It seems that this is only the second-level medal in the fifth-level Order of the British Empire of the Order of Knights. It's no big deal. But the fact is that as long as the person who awarded the medal can be called a "Sir", a kbe for men, a dbe for women - if it is a non-British recipient, it cannot be called a knight, but an honorary knight .

The status of this medal is basically the same as that of a baron—in other words, it is basically the same as the title of the Hall family. The difference is that the Hall family is a hereditary baron, and Arthur can inherit the title; while the Knight Commander Medal cannot be hereditary.

Among the entertainment circles, Ian - McLean, Judi - Dench, Helen - Mirren, Sean - Connery, Kevin - Spacey, Paul - McCartney, Elton - John, Daniel - Day-Lewis and others have all been awarded this medal. Therefore, they all need to add the word "Jazz" before their title, which is a unique honor.

After this, the recipients of other medals cannot be called "Sir" because the rank has not yet been reached.

The third is the Commander's Medal, which is one level lower than the Knight Commander's Medal, referred to as "cbe", Colin Firth, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta-Jones, etc. And so on are this medal.

The fourth is the Order of Officials, which is also an area with the most stars and celebrities. Countless familiar names are here, David Beckham, Ewan McGray, Liam Neeson, Anna Wintour, jk- Rowling, etc., and Eddie Redmayne, who later won the Oscar, also received the medal.

The fifth is the Order of Membership, which is the lowest level of the awards. The main objects of the awards are actors, singers and art practitioners who have developed in the UK. Many actors in the West End of London have been awarded this medal, and among them are famous The biggest is Adele and then Ed Sheeran in 2017 --

Adele was awarded this medal when she was twenty-five years old and only released two albums, and she has a bright future; and Ed Sheeran was also awarded as a member when she was twenty-seven. medal.

Well-known veteran actors like Judy Dandy, Maggie Smith, Ian McLean, etc., have all been awarded medals twice. The first level may be slightly lower, and the second level may be even higher. A little taller, Adele received the Membership Medal when she was only twenty-five years old. This is already a supreme honor, and you can continue to look forward to it in the future.

Undoubtedly, the Royal Family Medal is the highest honor that ordinary citizens can win, and it is equivalent to the recognition from the country and the whole society. , there are also many winners who refuse to be awarded.

In fact, "Honours" have been unfair for a long time, and many legendary British actors have not been able to receive recognition from the royal family in their entire lives, such as those widely known to the world through the "Harry Potter" series, "St. "Professor Napp" Alan-rickman (alan-rickman), and "Voldemort" Ralph-Fiennes (ralph-fiennes), they have not been able to be recognized.

Relatively speaking, for some wealthy people, they only need to donate money to the political parties they support to be nominated and further get honorary titles-of course, their contribution to the social economy is also an important factor, but in any case, for For many artists, these "medals" tend to have a copper stench.

Not only that, but the royal family itself is also selfish. In 2013, David Beckham, who was awarded the Order of Membership ten years ago, was nominated for the Order of the Knights Commander - which can be called "Sir", but the royal family thought this title was too high for Beckham. , he still needs to wait, so he gave a veto.

This matter later developed an "email door" in 2017. Because he was rejected by the royal family many times before and after, Beckham scolded his public relations and agents in the emails. The words were very vulgar. He has done so much charity work in order to be called a "Jazz", but it has not been successful, and all his efforts have been thrown into the stinky ditch.

"Charity is for the knighthood" and Beckham's public image has taken a serious hit.

At the same time, Andy Murray, who won the men's singles championship at the London Olympics the previous year, and successfully reached the top at Wimbledon in 2013, became the first Wimbledon since 1936. The local player who won the championship was also nominated for the Knight Commander Medal. However, the royal family also rejected such a proposal, and finally only awarded Andy Murray and David Beckham the same level of Officer Medal.

Instead, the last Knight Commander was awarded... on the head of the Royal Gynaecologist who delivered Kate's birth.

Where there are people, there is right and wrong. Similarly, the medals involved in honor, reputation, and interests inevitably become complicated, even the nobles are no exception - or, the nobles are even more complicated.

Naturally, many people refuse to accept the award. According to a list released in 2003, more than 300 people in the UK have refused to be awarded, and even refused to be awarded the title many times, including John Lennon, Alfred Hitchcock, David Bowie and more.

It is precisely because of this that the Queen doesn't want her to be shut out in person, it would be too embarrassing. After the list is approved and before the official award, the royal family will send a formal letter to the nominees, asking them if they are willing to accept the medal.

Now, Renly received a letter of inquiry; then, Renly received a blank postcard from Elizabeth.
