Prince William Knighted By Queen

By WENN, June 16 2008

British royal Prince William has been made a Royal Knight of the Garter by his grandmother.

British monarch Queen Elizabeth II honoured the second heir to the English throne at a service at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle on Monday (16Jun08).

The Order of the Garter - established by Edward III in 1348 - honours those who have contributed to national life or served the Queen.

William becomes a Royal Knight Companion, joining the most senior British order of chivalry.

Prince William - who will be the 1,000th Knight in the Register - wore a blue velvet cape and black velvet hat with white ostrich plumes for a procession from the castle to the chapel.
