Prince Harry has Been Knighted by the Queen in a Private Ceremony

Prince Harry has been appointed a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO) by his grandmother, the Queen, in a private ceremony. The service took place in Buckingham Palace on Thursday.
The KCVO is the only knighthood that can be awarded personally by the Queen rather than by ministerial recommendation, and now means that Harry can be called a Sir. It is awarded to people who have served the Queen or the Monarchy in a personal way.
The announcement came on Thursday in a short email from the Palace which read:  
"The Queen has been pleased to make the following appointment to the Royal Victorian Order:- To be a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order (KCVO), HRH Prince Henry of Wales."
