Royal Guelphic Order

The Royal Guelphic Order is a British order of chivalry founded in 1815 by King George III. It was established to reward loyalty and service to the monarchy and the British Empire, particularly in Germany. The order has three classes, with the highest being Knight Grand Cross. Its insignia features a blue ribbon and a medal showing the royal arms. While it is not as prominent today, it represents a historical connection to royal honors and symbolizes service and commitment to the crown and the nation. It is named after the Guelph dynasty, to which King George III belonged.
