Article 6(c)
About the honours system
Under Article 6 of the Constitution, the Monarch has the power to bestow honours and titles in recognition of service to Links Land. The royal honours system is a formal expression of the nation's gratitude to those who have made a significant contribution to public life, the community, or the democratic institutions of the country.
Honours are awarded by the Monarch on the advice of the government. They are a constitutional act of the Crown, not a personal gift from the Monarch.
What honours recognise
Honours may be awarded in recognition of a wide range of contributions to Links Land, including but not limited to:
-
