The first category of supernumerary members of the Order, Royal Knights and Dames, are not included in the 14 regular members. Although the Grand Duke is the Sovereign of the Order, making him a member ''ex officio'', he still falls into this category. Royal Dames and Knights may include the [[Royal Family of Westarctica|Royal Family]]; the Sovereign's Consort, as well as any adult issue, including those named as such who no longer meet those specific qualifications. There is no limit to the number of Royal Knights and Dames, but effort is made to keep this number reasonably small. | The first category of supernumerary members of the Order, Royal Knights and Dames, are not included in the 14 regular members.

The regalia of supernumerary members after 2021 are not distinguished from those of regular Knights and Dames. Prior to this change, supernumerary members were denoted by a letter; ''-R'' for Royal and ''-S'' for Stranger. In keeping with the tradition of many numbered orders of chivalry throughout history, the Order has skipped the number thirteen. | ||
