Difference between revisions of "Order of the Snowflake"

Initially, the class of Knight was intended to be the most commonly bestowed. However, in 2016 the Grand Duke found a reliable source for high quality regalia and decided to make Knight Commander the primary class of the order. The class of Knight is still bestowed on certain occasions, often to foreign diplomats where the class of Knight Commander might not be appropriate when that same grade is already held by the recipient's Head of State.

The class of Knight Grand Cross was originally reserved for Heads of State and members of the [[Royal Family of Westarctica|Royal Family]], but in August 2020, the class was further opened to include existing Knights Commander with distinguished service to the [[Government of Westarctica|government of Westarctica]].
