It simply isn't true that the Order of the Garter was 'always' in the personal gift of the Sovereign. George V could only confer it upon advice of the PM - it was Elizabeth II who was again allowed to confer it on her own will alone. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.153.63.66 (talk) 20:34, 24 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

On list of post-nominal letters, it says a Commander of the Royal Victorian Order uses the letters RVO... but on here it says they use CVO...? Is there a separate Royal Victorian Order in Canada or something of that sort? ugen64 18:33, Aug 23, 2004 (UTC)

People who are not members

According to http://www.smh.com.au/news/world/celebrity-chef-serves-up-fake-resume/2008/03/04/1204402403985.html the celebrity chef Robert Irvine is not a member of the RVO. He is the presenter of Dinner: Impossible on the Food Network. He recently admitted to lying about being made a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order and receiving a castle from the Queen.

Eligibility

the eligibility section only talks about Canadian eligibility. more countries should be added. does one have to be a commonwealth  citizen? I ask because in the Tom Clancy novels, Jack Ryan, an American, is made an honorary Knight of this order. and even thourgh it is not recognized in the US, the Brits in the books always call him Sir John.
