Thursday was a big day for Prince William, who was installed as a Knight of the Order of the Thistle by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II during a ceremony in Scotland. The honor is considered the highest available in the country.
"It is our pleasure that His Royal Highness the Prince William, Earl of Strathearn, be installed a Knight of the most ancient and most noble Order of the Thistle," the Queen, 86, announced during the ceremony, which is part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in Scotland. (Her engagements in England wrapped in early June.)
