Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood
- Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood
The Central Chancery of the Orders of Knighthood is a small office within the Royal Household of the Sovereign of the United Kingdom responsible for the administration of Orders of Chivalry and some aspects of honours in general. It does not deal with nominations or decisions on appointments, but rather administers the appointment procedures and investitures, and provides the insignia.
Since 1991 the Secretary of the Central Chancery has been the same individual who also serves as Assistant Comptroller to the Lord Chamberlain's Office.
