J.K. Rowling receives Companion of Honour
On 12th December, J.K. Rowling was made a Member of the Order of the Companions of Honour, for her services to literature and philanthropy. She accepted the esteemed award from the Duke of Cambridge during an investiture at Buckingham Palace.
The century-old Order was founded by King George V in June 1917 as a reward for outstanding achievements in the arts, literature, music, science, politics, industry or religion. It is a special award held by no more than 65 people at any given time, and one which recognises services of national significance. J.K. Rowling was made a Companion of Honour this year along with Sir Paul McCartney, Delia Smith, Sir Terence Conran and others.
Of the honour, she said “to be included in the distinguished and diversely talented company of the other Companions of Honour, especially as a female writer, is a particular privilege.”

I am a lifelong fan. Congratulations to one of my heroines. I can't wait to have children so I can introduce them to Rowling and her creative worlds in literature and her poise and contribution to the physical world most of us occupy the rest of the time. She is truly a gift and I wish the world had more of her in it. Thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. You are an inspiration. Thank you for never giving up even when it was so hard, and for sharing and introducing such beauty into our world. You have inspired so many others and you've encouraged beautiful morals such as loyalty, bravery, and compassion through the stories of your iconic characters. Thank you, Ms. Rowling, from the bottom of my heart. You have saved/enhanced/changed this muggle's life (and so many more) ever for the better!Love,
William
