==Distribution of classes== | |||
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 in certain occasions, but mostly to foreign diplomats where Knight Commander might not be appropriate due to the class of knighthood held by their Head of State. | |||
The class of Knight Grand Cross has always been reserved for Heads of State and members of the [[Royal Family of Westarctica|Royal Family]]. | |||
