Prince William to join Britain's most exclusive club as Knight of the Garter | Mail Online: "It will be quite a leap for a young man whose only previous decoration has been a Golden Jubilee Medal.
Monday's ritual will be an important and ancient royal rite of passage.
It will be exactly 40 years since the Prince of Wales was invested as a member of the oldest order of chivalry in the world.
Prince William will join a 660-year-old club which goes to the heart of the English national identity and owes its origins to both King Arthur and St George.
In addition, he will acquire a set of initials which will always take pride of place immediately after his name: KG.
But what does it all mean? Set aside the pomp, and the whole point of 'the Garter' is very simple.
Indeed, it is the same today as it ever was: to demonstrate loyalty and service to the Sovereign. "
