It is the first time that King Charles has approved the New Year Honours. Traditionally, the royal family honors numerous people with medals and awards for their social commitment at the turn of the year.
A total of 1,107 people are on the honors list this year, including several celebrities such as England women’s European champions Leah Williamson, Lucy Bronze, Beth Mead and Ellen White. You will receive medals of merit. National coach Sarina Wiegman receives an honorary award. As a non-British woman, the Dutchwoman cannot officially get a title.
Also knighted are politicians Julian Lewis of the Conservative Party and Chris Bryant of the opposition Labor Party, who had badly hit ex-Prime Minister Boris Johnson. The British ambassadors in Kyiv and Moscow, Melinda Simmons and Deborah Bronnert, are made “lady”. The title is equivalent to the chivalrous “Sir” for men.
At 18, Dara McAnulty is the youngest awardee. The Northern Irishman receives a British Empire medal for his commitment to environmental protection and work with the elderly. The oldest is 100-year-old Peter Davies, who works as a volunteer reader at an elementary school and also receives such a medal.
