N2 - In this Jubilee Year, commemorating 70 years on the throne of Queen Elizabeth II, this short piece offers some reflections on the role of the Monarch in the British honours system, which has a long history, commencing with the appointment of Knights Bachelor dating back to the Norman conquest in 1066. The authors will consider the role that the honours system plays in British life; how honours bind the Queen to her subjects; and how consistent criticisms of the honours system have often been ignored by Government. It shall conclude that while outwardly some steps have been taken which appear to convey the appearance of reform, there is still much about the honours system that calls for better governance and transparency.
