Knighthood from Granny? Harry gets an honour for services to the Queen
PRINCE Harry has received a gift from the Queen not many grandmother's would be able to offer - a knighthood.
Prince Harry was given the honour at The Queen
The 30-year-old became a knight in a private ceremony at Buckingham Palace.
The honour - Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order - is a personal gift of the Queen's which recognises services to her.
It's believed the new title is given due to his role working as a member of the Royal Family.
Away from his family duties he has had a number of successes.
During that time he has served in Afghanistan twice as an Apache helicopter pilot and a gunner.
His experiences in combat inspired him to launch the Invictus Games which sees people injured while serving in armed forces compete in sports against other nationalities.
The inaugural event was held in London's Olympic Park last year and hailed a success.

He has also started a charity, Sentebale, with Prince Seeiso of Lesotho which helps vulnerable children in poverty and those suffering from Aids in the African country.
The RVO knighthood is given to people who have served the Queen or the monarchy in a personal way.
These may include family members, officials from the Royal Household and British ambassadors who have helped to organise a state visit.
It was founded by Queen Victoria in 1896.
Harry recently hit the news when he took a tumble while playing polo in Ascot.
And he met the Queen at the Chelsea Flower Show last month, 24 hours after he flew back from New Zealand where he was on a royal tour.
