There are no limits to the number of any grade, and promotion is possible. The styles of knighthood are not used by princes, princesses, or [[Peerage|peers]] in the uppermost ranks of the society, save for when their names are written in their fullest forms for the most official occasions. Retiring Deans of the [[Royal Peculiar]]s of [[St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle]] and [[Westminster Abbey]] are customarily inducted as Knights Commander; clergymen appointed to the higher levels of the Royal Victorian Order do not use the associated styles, however, and honorary members are not permitted to hold them at all. Prior to 1984, the grades of Lieutenant and Member were classified as ''Members (fourth class)'' and ''Members (fifth class)'', respectively, but both with the post-nominals ''MVO''. On 31 December of that year, Queen Elizabeth II declared that those in the grade of Member (fourth class) would henceforth be Lieutenants with the post-nominals ''LVO''.<ref name=CambRVO /> {| class="wikitable" |+ ! colspan="9" |Grades of the Royal Victorian Order |- !Grade | align="center" | Knight Grand Cross | align="center" | Dame Grand Cross | align="center" | Knight Commander | align="center" | Dame Commander | align="center" | Commander | align="center" | Lieutenant | align="center" | Member | align="center" | Royal Victorian Medal{{efn|The Royal Victorian Medal does not make a person a member of the Order, but the award is associated with the Order.}} |- !Prefix | align="center" | ''Sir'' | align="center" | ''Dame'' | align="center" | ''Sir'' | align="center" | ''Dame'' | align="center" | — | align="center" | — | align="center" | — | align="center" | — |- !Post-nominals | align="center" colspan="2" |GCVO | align="center" | KCVO | align="center" | DCVO | align="center" | CVO | align="center" | LVO | align="center" | MVO | align="center" | RVM |- !Insignia | colspan="2" align="center" | [[Image:Stervan de Koninklijke Orde van Victoria.jpg|80px]] | colspan="2" align="center" | [[File:SteR KCVO.jpg|80px]] | colspan="2" align="center" | [[File:RVO-Star (CVO-LVO).jpg|80px]] | align="center" | [[File:RVO-Star (MVO).jpg|80px]] | align="center" | [[File:RVM-trimmed.jpg|50px]] |} * ==Insignia and vestments== [[File:Royal Victorian Order mantle and star.jpg|thumb|right|upright|Mantle of the order bearing the star of a Knight Grand Cross]] Upon admission into the Royal Victorian Order, members are given various insignia. Common for all members is the badge, which is a [[Maltese cross]] with a central medallion depicting on a red background the [[Royal Cypher]] of Queen Victoria surrounded by a blue ring bearing the motto of the order – ''victoria'' (victory) – and surmounted by a [[Crown (heraldry)#Commonwealth usage|Tudor crown]].<ref name=CambRVO /> However, there are variations on the badge for each grade of the order: Knights and Dames Grand Cross on certain formal occasions (see below) wear the badge suspended from the Order's collar (chain), but otherwise on a [[sash]] passing from the right shoulder to the left hip; Knight Commanders and male Commanders wear the badge on a ribbon at the neck; male Lieutenants and Members wear the badge from a ribbon on the left chest;<ref name=GG /> and women in all grades below Dame Grand Cross wear the badge on a bow pinned at the left shoulder. For Knights and Dames Grand Cross, Commanders, and Lieutenants, the Maltese cross is rendered in white enamel with gold edging, while that for Knights and Dames Commander (on the star) and Members (the badge itself) is in silver.<ref name=GG /> Further, the size of the badge varies by rank, that for the higher classes being larger, and Knights and Dames Grand Cross and Knights and Dames Commander have their crosses surrounded by a star: for the former, an eight-pointed silver star, and for the latter, an eight-pointed silver Maltese cross with silver rays between each arm. [[File:Prins Edward, earl av Wessex & Sophie, grevinna av Wessex -3.jpg|thumb|[[Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh]] (in 2013, as the Countess of Wessex) wearing the riband of a Dame Grand Cross of the Order]] The medal bears the effigy and name of the reigning sovereign at the time of its awarding, as well as the phrase ''DEI • GRATIA • REX (or REGINA) • F.D.'' (by the grace of God, King (or Queen), [[Defender of the Faith]]), and on the reverse is the Royal Cypher upon an ornamental shield within a [[laurel wreath]]. Bars may be awarded to each class of medal for further services, and should recipients be awarded a higher level of medal or be appointed to a grade of the order itself, they may continue to wear their original medal along with the new insignia. The order's ribbon is blue with red-white-red stripe edging, the only difference being that for foreigners appointed into the society, their ribbon bears an additional central white stripe. For Knights Grand Cross, the ribbon is {{convert|82.5|mm|in}} wide, for Dames Grand Cross {{convert|57.1|mm|in}}, for Knights and Dames Commander {{convert|44.4|mm|in}}, and for all other members {{convert|31.7|mm|in}}.<ref name=CambRVO /> At formal events, or ''[[collar day]]s'', of which there are 34 throughout the year, such as [[New Year's Day]] and royal anniversaries,<ref name=DebRVO /> Knights and Dames Grand Cross wear the Royal Victorian Order's [[livery collar]], consisting of an alternating string of [[octagon]]al [[gold]] pieces depicting a gold rose on a blue field and gold oblong frames within which are one of four inscriptions: ''Victoria'', ''Britt. Reg.'' (Queen of the Britons), ''Def. Fid.'' ({{Lang|la|[[fidei defensor]]}}, or Defender of the Faith), and ''Ind. Imp.'' ([[Emperor of India|Empress of India]]). The chain supports a larger octagonal medallion with a blue enamel surface edged in red and charged with a [[saltire]], over which is an effigy of Queen Victoria; members of the order suspend from this medallion their insignia as a ''badge apendant''.<ref name=DebRVO /><ref name=CambRVO /> Though after the death of a Knight or Dame Grand Cross their insignia may be retained by their family, the collar must be returned. Knights and Dames Grand Cross also wear a mantle of dark blue satin edged with red satin and lined with white satin, bearing a representation of the order's star on the left side.<ref name=CambRVO /> ==Chapel== [[File:Savoy Chapel, interior.jpg|thumb|right|The [[Savoy Chapel|King's Chapel of the Savoy]], which acts as the chapel of the Royal Victorian Order (photographed in 2020).

However, the population of the order has grown to the point that the Savoy chapel can no longer accommodate the gathering of members held every four years, and [[St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle]] is now employed for the event.<ref name=RVOBP/><ref name=DebRVO/> The Sovereign and Knights and Dames Grand Cross of the order are allotted stalls in the Savoy chapel's choir, and on the back of each stall is affixed a [[brass]] plate displaying the occupant's name, [[coat of arms]], and date of admission into the organisation. Upon the occupant's death, the plate is retained, leaving the stalls festooned with a record of the order's Knights and Dames Grand Cross since 1938. The only heraldic banners normally on display in the chapel are those of the ''Sovereign of the Royal Victorian Order'' and of the ''Grand Master of the Royal Victorian Order'' as there is insufficient space in the chapel for more knights' and dames' banners or other heraldic devices. The Chaplain of the King's Chapel of the Savoy is ex officio the Chaplain to the Royal Victorian Order. The current incumbent is Canon Thomas Woodhouse.<ref>{{cite web |title=The Royal Victorian Order |url=https://www.royalchapelsavoy.org/royal-victorian-order/ |access-date=31 March 2023}}</ref> == Eligibility and appointment == [[File:Coat of Arms of Baron Baden-Powell.svg|thumb|right|Coat of arms of [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|Lord Baden-Powell]], showing the circlet of the Royal Victorian Order around the [[Escutcheon (heraldry)|escutcheon]] and the order's insignia suspended underneath]] [[File:RoyalVictorianOrderCirclet.png|alt=The Royal Victorian Order circlet laid out|thumb|The Royal Victorian Order's heraldic [[circlet]], as viewed when laid out flat]] Membership in the Royal Victorian Order is conferred by the monarch without [[Advice (constitutional)|ministerial advice]] on those who have performed personal service for the sovereign.<ref name=DebRVO/> Foreign members will generally be admitted as honorary members of the Royal Victorian Order when the sovereign is making a [[state visit]] to the individual's country or a head of state is paying a state visit to the United Kingdom.<ref name=DebRVO/> ===Canadians=== As admission to the top two levels of the organisation provides for an honorary prefix, Canadians are not normally appointed to these levels as long as the monarch's [[Cabinet of Canada|Canadian ministry]] adheres to the [[Canadian titles debate|Nickle Resolution]] of 1919.
