The two Royal Lady Companions, The Princess Royal and Princess Alexandra, use the post-nominals "KG" rather than "LG" as was referenced at their creation in the Order and as is listed at the referenced page. IMO, their listings should not be edited to read "LG". — Preceding unsigned comment added by BigLabs87 ( talk • contribs) 19:30, 24 October 2016 (UTC)

The member numbers in this article to not correlate with those in List of Knights and Ladies of the Garter. I do not have the necessary information to know which is correct so I cannot repair it myself. The numbers are one off, with the latest person in List of Knights and Ladies of the Garter being HM Felipe VI, King of Spain being listed as #1009.
In the Officers section, the Dean of Windsor is stated to be the "Registrar". However, it appears that the office's proper name is "Register" of the Order of the Garter, not "Registrar". Please see pages 3 and 12 of Companion Magazine (issue 21, published on 13 June 2015), which is the magazine of the College of St George, Windsor Castle. This issue features the Order of the Garter and its relationship with St George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. On the third page, the Dean of Windsor (David Conner) is stated to be the "Register of the Order of the Garter".

Apparently, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall has been created a 'Royal Lady Companion', and so has the post-nominal initials 'LG' instead of 'KG', which would indicate a 'Royal Lady', as with The Princess Royal and Princess Alexandra, The Honourable Lady Ogilvy. If this is correct, should the section in which she has been included now be titled 'Royal Knights and Ladies Companion' rather than just 'Royal Knights Companion'? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.18.49.140 ( talk) 19:02, 1 January 2022 (UTC)
Some of us don't think that Twitter is decisive. "The official website of the British Monarchy" has this about Anne: https://web.archive.org/web/20120111110418/http://www.royal.gov.uk/ThecurrentRoyalFamily/ThePrincessRoyal/Honours.aspx "In 1994 The Queen appointed Her Royal Highness a Lady of the Most Noble Order of the Garter."
The same site has this about Alexandra: https://www.royal.uk/new-members-order-garter-announced The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra, The Hon. Lady Ogilvy, GCVO to be a Lady Companion of the Most Noble Order of the Garter.
Also the reports in The Times (London):
Hamilton, Alan. "Princess appointed to Order of Garter", The Times (London) (Saturday, 23 April 1994), page 1.
"The Queen has appointed the Princess Royal to the Order of the Garter, the highest order of chivalry within the sovereign's gift. ... She becomes a Lady of the Garter."
"Order of the Garter", The Times (London) (Thursday, 24 April 2003), page 39.
"Princess Alexandra has been made a Lady of the Garter, Britain's highest honour which is in the personal gift of the Queen."
I think that the official website and The Times are superior sources to Twitter. Noel S McFerran ( talk) 01:10, 5 February 2022 (UTC)
Can someone enlighten me as to how Tony Blair, a native of Edinburgh, comes by a St George's Cross next to his name? Is there a precedent anywhere for this, as someone cannot be 'English' unless born in England, or overseas to English parents. This appointment is not without its controversy. Perhaps some sort of note might be worthwhile showing that it is not normal practice for those born in Scotland to be appointed to the Order, there being a Knight of the Thistle instead. I don't think it's citable here, but there were leaks some time ago that Blair turned down KT at some consternation to the Royal Household, as he wanted to be KG.-- Stevouk ( talk) 11:44, 3 January 2022 (UTC)
Is it really best to have the Ulster Banner represent Northern Ireland? While there is no official flag of Northern Ireland, it seems that Saint Patrick's Saltire is the less controversial one and is preferred by the royal family (considering it was used, for instance, during the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant).-- Ff462 ( talk) 10:52, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
Well I'll make the change. I don't suppose there is a wrong or right answer considering there is no official flag of Northern Ireland. However, Saint Patrick's Saltire seems like it is preferred for national events in the UK such as state visits or jubilees. Plus, for this list, it would simply look better because the miniature version of the Ulster Banner is hard to distinguish from the miniature version of St George's Cross.-- Ff462 ( talk) 11:36, 9 January 2022 (UTC)
There is no whole member number of 1000; the list skips from 999 to 1001. The thinking behind this could be useful to the article.
Wonder if there were any qualms about member 666? 24.4.136.172 ( talk) 03:03, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
They gave 1000 to Prince William. Probably as he is likely to be King, and the count was about to hit four digits, so it seemed like a thing to do. But I agree, we should find some documentation of the thinking behind this. 2600:1010:B067:9027:2C1A:1BDE:6551:1F96 ( talk) 03:10, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
Graham Usher (bishop) recently Tweeted a photograph of St George's Chapel.[ [1]] Behind the banner of Sir Thomas Dunne is one I have not seen before. I presume this belongs to Lady Amos. It is obviously per saltire Gules and Or but I don't recognise the symbol on it. Robin S. Taylor ( talk) 20:27, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
This is what I have put on the talk page for Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester; I feel as though this page might get more footfall, however.
'Following today's announcement that Her Royal Highness has been appointed a 'Royal Lady Companion' of the Garter, many articles, including this one, have been updated to show 'LG' as her first set of post-nominal initials. However, Princess Alexandra holds the same grade within the order, but is 'KG'. It could be that only The Queen, as a 'Royal Lady' - that is, without 'Companion' - is the only female member of the Royal Family with 'LG' in this context. Given that the official press release from the Royal Household, via the website, contains only the letters that each person held before the announcement, and all other sources would presumably have taken their cue from this, I am at a loss what to think. Your thoughts, please.' ZeroAlpha87 ( talk) 23:22, 23 April 2024 (UTC)
