Prince William Knighted.

 

Prince William was made the 1000th Knight of the Garter by his Grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle today. His Father, his brother, and his girlfriend, Kate Middleton attended.

The Royal Order of the Garter, Established in 1348, may be bestowed by the British monarch upon anyone she chooses without seeking approval from government. It is mostly given to people for service to the crown.

The attire of the knights is an ostrich plumed hat, velvet robes, and a deep blue velvet garter with the words "Honi soit qui mal y pense," or "shame upon him who thinks evil upon it."

  well  
 its atchully a very honorably reward.

Many monarchs through out English history have given the honor to SuperNobles, or people with lots of power of popularity. The title doesn't give you anymore power, just a way of rewarding without atchully giving anything.

For those of you who know about English history, its known as a Carrot technique.

But still well done Sir!

The British Monarchy should be restored to power.

  I think  
 the country is losing interest in all the royal rubbish. Ever since the two princes started getting drunk and Harry started smoking pot.

My logic is that if they want to be normal, that's great, we can all stop funding the never-ending supply of alcohol and irrelevant crap that surrounds them. This fits into the irrelevant crap section.

  You mean Katherine Middleton right ?  
 because Kate is such a peasants name.

  What has he actually done  
 to deserve such an honour? I know he's done charity work and is in the armed forces, but there are surely people who would be better suited to receive this, people who have done a lot for others despite not having very much themselves.

Oh wait, the Queen is his grandma :-|
