Here’s where it gets fun. Recipients usually attend a ceremony at Buckingham Palace with fancy outfits and lots of nerves. A senior royal (like Prince William or the Queen herself) gives them the award.
But here’s the twist: the ceremony is surprisingly casual. People chat, laugh, and sometimes even get a hug. One winner said it felt like a huge family celebration rather than a formal event.
And yes, you do get to curtsy or bow. It’s a little old-school, but hey, it’s tradition. Plus, you get a photo for your grandkids to brag about.
