It's been quite a while since I updated any of my Royals in Medals posts, but I've just done so for Prince Harry. He's been made KCVO just in time for the Birthday Parade.
As opposed to KCCO? I had to look up KCVO but I gather it's a dynastic order of knighthood? Is it for those in the family or is it award to commoners by merit as well? Just curious.

No merit at all - a personal gift in the hands of the Queen for services to the monarch. Generally staff, courtiers, diplomats and the like.
