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

Every year, the Prime Minister, Cabinet, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the governments of Commonwealth countries can submit a reviewed list of awards, which will be reviewed by the royal family and finally decided by the Queen, aiming to commend those who have made important contributions to the UK. The royal family's awards express solemn and formal recognition. All citizens can be included in the scope of awards, which is also the highest honor for ordinary British citizens.

The list of awards twice will be announced every year, the king’s birthday and the new year, and each award ceremony is a major celebration that is highly anticipated.

Among them, different honorary titles represent different importance, and some titles have even lasted for centuries, comparable to the current hereditary aristocratic seat.

The entire awarding level is very complex, and can first be divided into Knight Medal and Non-Knight Medal.

The non-knight medal includes medals of merit and medals of honor. The former was established in 1902. It is different from traditional medals and does not have any titles. It is recognized as the most noble and unabolized medal now; the latter was established in 1917 and is slightly lower than the former. Currently, there are only forty-seven living people, including three actors, Maggie Smith, Judy Denge and Ian McLean.

Overall, the non-knight medal is relatively rare and not widely known to the general public, but the degree of preciousness and importance are not discounted.

The Knights Medal covers seven different medals, arranged from high to low, including the Garter Medal, the Thistle Medal, the Medal of St. Patrick, the Medal of Bath, the Medal of St. Michael and St. George, the Royal Victoria Medal, and the Medal of British Empire.

The oldest Guardian Order was established in 1348. Currently, there are only twenty-four members in the world, all of which are directly awarded by the Queen without the advice or nomination of the Prime Minister. The main recipients are members of the royal family, such as the Queen himself, Prince William, Prince Charles, etc., and there have been two non-royal members in history, including two former Prime Ministers of Britain, Mrs. Margaret Thatcher and John Major.

It is no exaggeration to say that the status of each Garde Medal exceeds that of most hereditary nobles. Although the two cannot be equated and there is no need to be equated, in terms of glory and reputation, the existence of Garde Medal itself is transcendent.

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

The main recipients of the Order of St. Michael and St. George are senior government officials, but Angelina Jolie was awarded this medal for opposing /**** and British diplomatic citizens. However, because she is not a British citizen, she cannot be awarded a damsman, but a honorary dame.

The Royal Victoria Order is mainly awarded to the people who serve the monarch; finally, the British Empire Order, established in 1917, is the most familiar one. It is mainly used to commend people who have made outstanding contributions in the fields of art, science, charity and public services. It is also the place where actors, writers, artists and celebrities are most familiar with.

The above seven medals are all the levels of the British Knight Medal, but the levels are hugely different and have completely different meanings. Most celebrities’ medals are the lowest-level British Empire medals.

Some celebrities accept honors with high profile, but in fact they only receive small medals equivalent to the level of secretary or clerk within the royal family; while some actors seem low-key and calm, but they have won top honors comparable to medals of merit during the war. These details are unknown to outsiders, but they have important differences for the royal family.

Although the British Empire Medal is the lowest level among all Knight Medals, in fact, there are five levels that need to be subdivided into the British Empire Medals, and their status and levels are also different.

The first is the Grand Cross Medal, mainly military, political, royal, parliamentary members, and group chairman. Currently, no celebrities in the film and television art world have won such medals.

The second is the Medal of the Gun Commander, which is the highest medal that most performing artists can receive. Don’t underestimate it. It seems that this is just the second-level medal in the fifth-level British Empire Order of the Knights. It’s no big deal. But the fact is that as long as the person awarded the medal can be called "jazz". Men are kbes and women are dbes. If a medal is a non-British nationality, he cannot be called jazz, but is called honorary jazz.

The status of this medal is basically the same as that of the Baron. In other words, it is basically the same as that of the Hall family. The difference is that the Hall family is an hereditary baron, and Arthur can inherit the title; while the title commander's medal cannot be hereditary.

In the entertainment industry, Ian McLean, Judy Dench, Helen Mirren, Sean Connery, Kevin Spacey, Paul McCartney, Elton John, Daniel Day Lewis and others were all awarded this medal. Therefore, the word "jazz" needs to be added in front of their titles, which is a unique honor.

After this, no winner of other medals can be called "jazz" because the level has not been reached.

The third is the Commander's Medal, which is one level lower than the Gun-level Commander's Medal, referred to as "be", Colin Fiss, Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Winslet, Catherine Zeta Jones, etc. are all this medal.

The fourth is the official medal, which is also the area with the most celebrities. Countless familiar names are here, such as David Beckham, Evan McGray, Liam Neeson, Anna Wintour, JK Rowling, etc. Later, Eddie Redmayne, who won the Oscar winner, also received the medal.

The fifth is the Medal of the Master, which is the lowest level of awards. The main recipients of 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 the most famous of them are Adele and Ed Sheeran in 2017.

Adele was awarded this medal when he released only two albums when he was twenty-five, and his future was promising; and Ed Sheeran was awarded the Medal of the Jungzo when he was twenty-seven.

Famous veteran actors such as Judy Dandy, Maggie Smith, Ian McLean and other famous actors have been awarded medals twice. The first level may be slightly lower, and the second level is higher. Adele received the Junzuo Medal at the age of 25. This is already a supreme glory and can continue to look forward to it in the future.

Undoubtedly, the royal medal is the highest honor that ordinary citizens can win, which is equivalent to recognition from the country and the entire society. The awarding ceremony every year is highly anticipated, and major news media will report it early; despite this, there are many winners who refuse to award awards.

In fact, it has been unfair for a long time that "honors and honors" have been unfair. Many legendary British actors have never been recognized by the royal family in their entire lives. For example, "Professor Snape" Alan Rikman (alan-rikman), and "Voldemort" Ralph-fiennes, who have not been recognized by the royal family.

Relatively speaking, for some wealthy people, they only need to donate money to the political parties they support to be nominated and further honorary titles. Of course, their contribution to the social economy is also an important factor, but no matter what, for many artists, these "ddings" often have a copper smell.

Not only that, the royal family itself also has selfish intentions. In 2013, David Beckham, who received the Medal of the Master of the Lord of the Master ten years ago, was nominated for the Medal of the Lord, which can be called "jazz". However, the royal family believed that this title was too high for Beckham, so he had to wait a little longer, so he rejected it.

This incident later developed a "mail door" in 2017. Because it was rejected by the royal family many times, Beckham scolded his public relations officer and agent in the email. His words were very vulgar. The overall idea was that he had done so much charity work to be called "jazz", but he failed to succeed. All his efforts were thrown into the stinky ditch. For this reason, he expressed strong dissatisfaction.

"Charity is for the title of jazz", and Beckham's public image was severely hit.

At the same time, Andy Murray, who won the London Olympics championship and men's singles championship the year before, successfully topped the Wimbledon Open in 2013, becoming the first local player to win the Wimbledon championship since 1936. He was also nominated for the Judge Commander's Medal, but the royal family also rejected such a proposal, and eventually awarded Andy Murray the same level as David Beckham.

Instead, the final medal of the rank commander was awarded... the royal gynecologist who delivered Princess Kate's birth.

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

Naturally, many people refused to accept awards. According to a list revealed in 2003, more than 300 people in the UK have refused to award awards, and even refused to award the title of lord many times, including John Lennon, Alfred Hitchcock, David Powell, etc.

It is precisely because of this that the Queen does not want to be dumped in person, which would be too embarrassing. After the list is passed, before the official award of the medal, the royal family will send a formal letter to the nominees asking whether they are willing to accept the medal. The final list is all those who are willing to accept the medal.

Now, Lanley received the inquiry letter; then, Lanley received Elizabeth's blank postcard.
