ROYAL VICTORIAN ORDER

(GCVO / KCVO / CVO / LVO / MVO / RVM)

Towards the end of the reign of Queen Victoria (1896), Her Majesty asked the Prime

Minister of England (Lord Salisbury) if he would object to an honour that would be

entirely in the hands of the Sovereign. He did not object as long as the Government

did not have to contribute to the expenses of the new order.

The new order with five classes was instituted to honour such persons as might have

rendered extraordinary or important or personal services to the Sovereign or who

might thereafter merit the Royal favour. The first two classes, Knights (Dames)

Grand Cross and Knights (Dames) Commanders would confer knighthood. While these two

classes ranked behind the existing Orders, members of the Third Class (Commanders)

ranked senior to Companions of the Order of the Bath and the Order of Saint Michael

and Saint George. Commanders of the Royal Victorian Order wore their badges around

their neck while Companions of the other two orders still wore their badges on their

left breast. This anomaly was corrected in 1917 with the addition of the Order of

the British Empire when Companions of the Order of the Bath and of the Order of

Saint Michael and Saint George took precedence over Commanders of the Royal Victorian

Order and these Companions now also wore their badges around their necks in a similar

fashion to a CVO. The Royal Victorian Order took precedence over the Order of the

British Empire and therefore a CBE ranked immediately after a CVO.

The Fourth and Fifth Classes of the Order were both called Members (MVO). This was

not changed until 31 December 1984 when a Member of the Fourth Class was changed to

a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order (LVO) and only a member of the Fifth Class

is now called a Member of the Royal Victorian Order (MVO).

The Chapel of the Order is the Queen's Chapel of the Savoy. Queen Victoria's

Birthday, 20th June is the major day for the Order. The motto of the Order is

'Victoria'.

The Order was given very sparingly by Queen Victoria. It was awarded much more

generously by King Edward VII. He would quite often put an M.V.O. badge into the

hand of a person who had rendered a relatively small service and often forgot to

tell the record keepers that he had done so. King George V followed Queen Victoria's

example and gave the award very sparingly which helped to establish the Order as

justifying its place of importance. King Edward VIII opened the Order to females

and made his mother a Dame Grand Cross but made no other appointments to the Order.

Several persons who helped him during his abdication were made members of the Order

by his brother. King George VI followed his father's example and by carefully

screening all awards, continued to increase the prestige of this award. Queen

Elizabeth II has continued this policy.

Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother was the first Grand Master of the Order and served

until her death in 2002. The Princess Royal, Princess Anne, is the current Grand

Master taking over in 2007. Princess Margaret was also a Dame Grand Cross.

3

The Duke of York (Prince Andrew) and the Earl of Wessex (Prince Edward) were appointed

Knights Grand Cross of the Order in 2011. Prince Harry was made a KCVO on 4 June

2015.

While not a part of the Order, THE ROYAL VICTORIAN MEDAL (RVM) is awarded by the

Sovereign to those rendering personal services to the Queen. After 31 December

1984, the post-nominal letters RVM were allowed to be used by holders of the medal.

It is awarded in silver gilt (gold), silver and bronze. The medals bear the current

effigy of the reigning Sovereign with the current legend on the obverse. On the

reverse is the Royal Cypher upon an ornamental shield within a wreath of laurel.

The medal is smaller than most medals being only 28-mm across. A holder of a bronze

medal could wear both the bronze medal and a subsequent silver (or gold) medal if

it were awarded; in addition, bars can be awarded to holders of the medals. In most

circumstances, the silver medal is awarded. The medal is worn from the Order's

ribbon (32-mm wide) on the left breast with other medals or from a bow by females

not in uniform. The medal was worn after the Polar Medal and before the Imperial

Service Medal but after the changes on 31 December 1984, it is now worn after the

Queen's Gallantry Medal and before the British Empire Medal.

a) GCVO (Knight or Dame Grand Cross):

The COLLAR of the Knight Grand Cross is of gold, composed

of octagonal pieces and oblong perforated and ornamental

frames alternately, linked together with gold; the said

pieces being edged and ornamented with gold, and each

containing upon a blue enameled ground

a gold rose jeweled with a carbuncle.

The frames are of gold, and each

contains a portion of the inscription

'VICTORIA ... BRIT.REG ... DEF.FID ...

IND.IMP' in letters of white enamel.

The Legend is repeated three times so

there are 12 frames and 11 pieces. In

the centre of the collar is an

octagonal piece, enameled blue, edged with red, and charged

with a white saltire, thereon being a gold medallion of the

effigy of Queen Victoria, from which hangs the badge of the

order. The BADGE consists of a white enameled Maltese cross

of eight points, in the centre of which is an oval of crimson

enamel with the royal and imperial cypher enameled in proper

colours. The badge is edged in gold. When the collar is not

worn, the badge is worn from a RIBAND, dark-blue with narrow

edges of three stripes (red, white, and red), 95-mm wide for

Knights and 57-mm wide for Dames, passing from the right

shoulder to the left hip. The MANTLE is of dark-blue silk,

edged with red satin and lined with white silk, and fastened

by a cordon of dark-blue silk and gold. On the left side of

the mantle is a representation of the star of the order. The

STAR is a silver chipped star of eight points in the centre of

which is a representation of the badge.

4

b) KCVO / DCVO (Knight Commander of Dame Commander):

The BADGE is a described above but smaller and is worn around the neck from a riband

of 44-mm as described above. The STAR is quite different being in the form of a

chipped silver Maltese Cross, with smaller rays issuing from the centre between the

angles of the cross, and in the centre, the badge of the order which is described

above but instead of having the cross of white enamel, it is of frosted silver.

c) CVO (Commander):

The BADGE is as described for a GCVO but smaller (51-mm across) and is worn around

the neck from a ribbon, 38-mm wide, dark-blue with 6-mm borders of red/white/red.

d) LVO (Lieutenant):

The BADGE is as described for a GCVO but smaller (44-mm across) and is worn on the

left breast from a ribbon, 32-mm, dark-blue with 5-mm borders of red/white/red.

e) MVO (Member):

The BADGE is as described for a GCVO but slightly smaller than an LVO (41-mm across)

but rather than being enameled in white, the cross is of frosted silver. The ribbon

is the same as for the LVO and the badge is worn on the left breast from a similar

ribbon. All of the badges of the Order are numbered on the reverse.1

f) RVM (Royal Victorian Medal):

The MEDAL is one of the smallest medals being only 1 1/8" across and is as described

above.

THE ROYAL VICTORIAN CHAIN

This honour was established by King Edward VII in 1902 as a special mark of the

Sovereign's favour. It is given only rarely as a rare mark of the highest distinction

and special esteem on the part of the Sovereign. It is NOT a part of the Royal

Victorian Order but is often considered as the highest grade of that Order.

The CHAIN consists of lotuses, trefoils, thistles and roses in gold (9 in all with

3 roses) linked together with a gold double chain (7 links), and in the centre,

within a wreath, is the cypher E.R.II enameled in red, surmounted by the imperial

crown, and pendent from the wreath is the badge of the Royal Victorian Order, the

badge being the same as that for a GCVO.

The chain is not a neck badge and so is worn in formal wear with a neck badge above

it if the holder has another neck decoration. The chain is returnable on the death

of the holder. A miniature medal is not worn by holders of this award.

Only two Canadians have been awarded this prestigious honour.

THE ORDER OF MERIT (OM)

Although this order carries no title or rank, it is often considered to be the most highly regarded award in the hierarchy of British honours.

It is a personal award from the Sovereign for exceptionally meritorious service towards the advancement of art, literature and science, for

particularly outstanding service in the armed forces or for other very distinguished service in the British Commonwealth.

It was instituted by King Edward VII on 23 June 1902 and is restricted to twenty-four Ordinary Members at one time. The motto of the order

is 'FOR MERIT'. The holder of the Order of Merit comes immediately after a GCB in precedence; if awarded to a Canadian after 1972, it

would come immediately before the Companion of the Order of Canada.

While a comparatively new order, it includes in its list of distinguished members, Florence Nightingale, Lord Lister, Lord Rutherford, Thomas

Hardy, Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, Henry Moore, Field Marshal Earl Alexander of Tunis (former Governor-General of Canada), Admirals of

the Fleet Jellico and Beatty, Field-Marshals Roberts, Kitchener, Wolseley, Haig and Alanbrooke, General Baden-Powell and Winston

Churchill.

The BADGE us a gold cross pattee convexed, enameled red and edged in blue. In the centre is a green

and gold laurel wreath, a white enamel circle and within this blue enamel on which is written in gold 'FOR

MERIT'. In the centre of the reverse is the current royal cypher. When awarded for military service, the

badge has two silver swords with gold hilts placed saltire-wise between the angles of the cross. The cross

is surmounted by a crown and is worn at the neck from a RIBBAND, 51-mm wide, half blue and half crimson.

Prince Philip is the Grand Master of the Order and wears a non-military badge. The badge is not worn in

miniature but the ribbon is worn in undress.

THE ORDER OF THE COMPANIONS OF HONOUR (CH)

This Order also carries no title or rank yet is a highly coveted honour, often considered as a junior class of the Order of Merit. Instituted in 1917 at the same time as the Order of the British Empire, it ranks immediately behind a G.B.E. in precedence. It is restricted to 65 Ordinary Members at any one time; 45 from the United Kingdom, 7 from Australia, 2 from New Zealand and 11 from Other Countries of the Commonwealth including Canada. It is not an award of the Sovereign but is awarded by the Sovereign on the recommendation of the Prime Minister, as may have rendered conspicuous service of national importance. As with the Order of Merit, honorary members may be appointed but these are rare. With the Queen’s New Year’s Honour List of 2018, the full 65 members of the Companions of Honour are alive meaning no further appointments can be made until some of the members die. The oldest is Dame Vera Lynn, age 100 (appointed in 2016) and the youngest, former Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborn. Other notable CH are J.K. Rowling, Dame Maggie Smith and Sir David Attenborough. Since 1917, there have been 363 recipients. This includes three honorary companions from outside the Commonwealth. In 2017, 12 people were appointed to the order, with a further 11 being appointed in 2016.

The BADGE us a gold oval-shaped medallion with a blue border with the motto 'IN ACTION FAITHFUL AND IN HONOUR CLEAR' in gold

letters. In the centre is a gold medallion with an oak tree, hanging from one branch a shield of the Royal Arms, and on the left a knight

armed and in armour, mounted on a horse. The badge is surmounted by the Imperial Crown and the badge is worn suspended round the

neck from a ribbon 38-mm wide, carmine in colour with borders of gold thread. Ladies wear the badge from a bow on the left shoulder.

My definition of a Canadian Nobel Laureate is defined as a person born in Canada, educated in Canada, or who did the work that

earned the Nobel Prize in Canada. The prestige of this award makes them the "Knights" of modern Canada.

MEDICINE category is actually Medicine and Physiology.
