Prince William was made a "Guardian Knight", becoming the1000th recipient since Edward III established the knight system in 348. The title of "Guardian Knight" can only be awarded by the monarch.

William and his father Prince Charles.
Being a knight is a little nervous.
The so-called "Guardian Knight" was founded by Edward III in 1348. It is the highest title of British knighthood, awarded by the royal family to those who have made outstanding contributions to public service or are loyal to the royal family. The leader of each Knights is an English monarch.

This flag will be hung here until the day he dies.
Prince William looks very eye-catching in a knight's costume. When he walked in the queue with his father, grandfather and other knights, his eyes were always staring at the ground and he looked embarrassed.
Prince William waved to the crowd.
Girlfriend and brother witness honor
On that day, about 7,000 people attended the ceremony, and Prince William's girlfriend Kate was also invited to watch the whole ceremony. Kate is wearing a plain black polka-dot cloth skirt, and a big black straw hat almost covers her whole face. She had a cordial conversation with the surrounding British royal elders, including Queen Elizabeth II, Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Charles and Lady Duke of Cornwall, Duke of York, Duke of Essex and Princess Anne.

After the ceremony, the Queen and Prince Philip hosted a banquet in the Waterloo Hall of Windsor Castle to entertain guests, including former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher and other members who enjoyed the title of "Guardian Knight". Most of the other guests are nobles from all over the world, and they are inextricably linked with the British royal family.
Many people came to watch the ceremony.
An interesting story about the origin of "guardian knight"
"Guardian" is the English word "Garter", which originally means a lady's garter. It is said that during the period of Edward III, when one of his mistresses was attending a dance, the garter suddenly broke in public and the socks slipped off her leg. At that time, the bystander's ridicule embarrassed the lady, but Edward III picked up the broken garter from the ground, tied it to his leg calmly, and formed a knight's medal in the name of the garter.
Harry will devote himself to charity and help AIDS orphans.
Second place Prince Harry (UK)
According to The China Journal, Prince Harry, the third in line to the British throne, has been unhappy since he came back from the Afghan front. After his hope of returning to the battlefield failed, he devoted himself to charity. This summer, Prince Harry will go to Lesotho, Africa for training with his comrades. The main content is charity work. Prince Harry set up a charity in Lesotho to help AIDS orphans.
According to British media reports on May 29th, the military decided to send Captain Harry of the Royal Blue Cavalry and his comrades-in-arms to Lesotho, Africa, for a three-week training this summer under the leadership of a senior official. The training content includes assisting the work of the "Don't forget me" charity foundation, building facilities for AIDS orphans, and renovating orphanage houses.
Third place Princess Zara (UK)
Princess Zara Phillips, a 27-year-old British equestrian master, has been actively preparing for the competition in recent years. She will represent the British equestrian team in the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, and she is likely to win the equestrian gold medal at the Olympic Games. However, at the critical moment of the countdown to the Olympic Games, 10 June, Princess Zara 14-year-old Emma "Toy City" was suddenly injured and could not participate in the competition, which completely shattered her Olympic dream.
According to reports, as early as 2004, Zara planned to participate in the Athens Olympic Games that year, but eventually she had to miss the Olympic Games because she accidentally hurt her leg in the toy city. It is reported that the failure to attend the Olympic Games again will deal a heavy blow to Princess Zara. A close friend said that because she attached great importance to participating in the Beijing Olympic Games, she postponed her wedding with her boyfriend until after the Olympic Games.
4th place: Beatrice Elizabeth Mary (UK)
Beatrice, a British princess aged 19, is more commercial than the royal family's reserve.
At 9 o'clock in the morning, Beatrice has put on a black dress, waiting for the arrival of the first VIP. From May 7th, she accepted the unpaid job. Now it seems that the work is going well. On the first day of work, someone recognized this young girl who looked a little chubby, and looked like the famous philanthropist Sarah Ferguson.
For the rich and famous people who come here, Beatrice's princess status is conducive to her work as a "shopping consultant", which she herself does not deny; The Searle Foric Department Store where she works is certainly happy to advertise with her identity. The fifth heir to the British royal family chose to work in this department store in Oxford Street, London, and took nothing. Most importantly, this live advertisement can last until the end of May. In order to support Beatrice's work, my cousin Prince William came to her and chose a pair of earrings for her girlfriend.
She is a rough Diana.
Yes, Beatrice is an English princess, even though she is a shopping guide during the day. At lunch, she will take off her work clothes and put on a summer dress worth 825 pounds designed by famous designer Matthew William, a Burberry women's jacket worth 3 10 pounds and James Jean trousers worth 175 pounds. In the evening, she will wear a white shirt skirt, go to the country club in Hertford Garden, and tango with the lead dancer in the bar, laughing hysterically.
Elizabeth II is very worried about this maverick granddaughter. Although Beatrice obeyed her family's arrangement and went to Smith College in London to study history, she was decent in public. Beatrice's problem is that if there is no news, once it is targeted by paparazzi, it will bring out the question of whether the British should keep the royal family. In Elizabeth II's eyes, Beatrice is a vivid Diana, stuck in her palm like a thorn. If you don't pull out, it hurts; If it is pulled out, it may fester.
Of course, Elizabeth still dotes on Beatrice. Because Beatrice was born at 8: 00 p.m. on August 8th, 988, the British royal family made an exception and held a big birthday party for her on August 8th, 2006. According to the royal convention, the princess and the prince can't hold a formal birthday celebration until they are 2 1 year old. As she is the first princess born in the British royal family since 1950, Elizabeth named this new pink life after Queen Victoria's youngest daughter Beatrice.
Although it is unlikely that Beatrice will succeed to the throne, it does not prevent her from receiving the best education all the time. However, the biggest headache for Elizabeth is that Beatrice is too ostentatious, and there is no reserve and mystery that a princess should have. Every time she is exposed in the media, the scars of the royal family will be uncovered again, and some people will mention that the Queen's two sons are divorced. Beatrice, on the other hand, is too much like her mother who left the royal family and did a good job in charity and slimming.
Beatrice's mother, Sarra ferguson, the Duchess of York, felt that her daughter didn't look like herself. Although the British media and the royal family blamed Beatrice's popularity on her guidance, the Duchess of York felt that if her daughter was like her, no British media would make a fuss about Beatrice's photos on French St. Bart's Island in the Caribbean. In this photo, Beatrice wears a blue bikini and plays with her American boyfriend david clark. Her figure looks scary. 14 In May, the Duchess of York, who became a famous American health consultant because of her success in losing weight, quickly defended her daughter, saying that Beatrice was actually a "10 healthy figure".
Maybe Beatrice's figure in the photo is too unreasonable. When a reporter asked the Duchess of York why she didn't use the "five-point plan for a new transformation" that she was promoting to all Americans to lose weight for her obviously overweight daughter, the Duchess of York had to respond with "She is studying hard to get straight A's". Then, the Duchess of York also stressed that her daughter is actually very keen on charity and is a very responsible princess.
She is still spending her youth.
In fact, compared with Beatrice, charity attracts her to be cool more than saving the world. On September 20th, 2007, when Beatrice and her mother walked on the runway at the closing ceremony of London Fashion Week for the first time wearing a famous Italian brand dolce & gabbana, they did so in the name of charity, "for the people who were absolutely devastated in Qian Qian". That night, she wore jewelry worth 8 million pounds, specially customized by former royal jeweler Gerald.
For Beatrice, being chased by many flashlights is far more attractive than starving children. For this royal girl born with a silver key, she doesn't know how lethal poverty is. But she knew how interesting the star-studded party was, and she had a good time.
On June 5438+February 1 day, 2007, Beatrice and her then 25-year-old boyfriend David attended David's ex-girlfriend's birthday party, and they met happily. Stars gathered at the birthday party. This time, the reason why Beatrice once again became the focus of attention was not her princess status, but her dress: jeans, printed jacket and a real velvet scarf. It's a little inappropriate for such a dress to appear at a formal dinner party. Of course, Beatrice herself did not feel uncomfortable. Like her swimsuit photo, she thought it was just herself. For Leo, a girl of 19 years old, she is extremely satisfied with herself, and she is also very devoted to playing different roles.
Yes, she likes this kind of game. Before that, she had already played two races. One was in June 2006/KOOC-0/65438+/KOOC-0/0/2, and she announced her decision to take the Virgin Galactic spacecraft and make a 3.5-hour suborbital flight in space at a distance of/KOOC-0/2 km from the Earth. In this regard, the Queen of England did not express her position, nor did her parents, because girls' interests have always changed like clouds in the sky. Sure enough, the space flight plan is still planned, and Beatrice has completed her 18-year-old adult ceremony in this long plan. Another role-changing game is to be a royal maid in the movie Young Victoria. The queen didn't interfere with the electric shock, although no members of the royal family had performed in the film before.
In fact, even if the Queen intervened, Beatrice would not listen. In her opinion, that slightly stuffy grandmother is far less interesting than her mother who dares to break the rules. Beatrice's idols are her mother and Princess Diana who died in Paris 1 1 years ago. In her view, her mother successfully got out of divorce, scandal, obesity and debt and began to deal with all kinds of people with ease. She can rationally handle the relationship between money and men, and is an absolutely modern independent woman. "Mother can let the gossip around her disintegrate and live in the way she wants. No matter what problems you encounter, mom always has a way to solve them. "
Of course, Beatrice is free to choose the life she wants, work as a part-time shopping guide, or often play charity games and attend celebrity parties. Nothing is impossible if you want to. After all, she is only 19 years old, and she still has a lot of youth to squander. Moreover, today's princess is no longer mysterious and noble in the past, but only has the support of a large number of taxpayers and the wanton life that many women have dreamed of realizing all their lives.
