Private Secretary conveying the Royal Sanction.

full

Royal Sign-Manual is designed, subject to the exception mentioned


in Rule 4 (a) respecting British Naval or Military Officers during

State conferring it, or to the State itself. The private or restricted
permission is
contemplated for Decorations which are more or less of
a complimentary character. In either case, the matter will be
submitted to the King by His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State
for Foreign Affairs.

4. Full and unrestricted permission by Warrant under the Royal


Sign-Manual is contemplated in the following cases :

Protectorate.

(c.) On any British subject employed in a Foreign Embassy or


Legation in the United Kingdom.

5. The desire of the Head of a Foreign State to confer upon a


British subject the Insignia of an Order, or the fact that he has done
so, must be notified to His Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for

Foreign Affairs either through the British Diplomatic Representative


accredited to the Head of the Foreign State, or through his

Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs shall be under no
obligation to consider claims that are not brought to his notice
through one of these channels.

accept the Decoration of a Foreign Order, hewill, at any future time,

be allowed to accept the Decoration of a higher class of the same


Order, to which he may have become eligible by increase of rank in
the Foreign Service, or in the service of his own country; or any

other distinctive mark of honour strictly consequent upon the

acceptance of the original Decoration, and common to every person

upon whom such Decoration is conferred.


8. Medals which constitute a particular class of a Foreign Order
are subject in all respects to the above Regulations in the same
manner as higher grades of the Order, except that permission to wear
will be given by Letter and not by Royal Warrant. The King's
permission must be obtained for any other Medal to be worn. No
permission is needed to accept a Foreign Medal if it is not intended
to be worn.
