Prince Harry keeps getting dreamier.
Well this is certainly a welcome surprise for Prince Harry!
The 30-year-old royal was knighted by his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth, on Thursday, a gift recognizing his service to the royal family. He was made a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order in a private ceremony in Buckingham Palace, Buckingham Palace announced.

Prince Harry has been busy lately on behalf of Her Majesty, recently completing successful tours in New Zealand, the Caribbean and the Middle East.
Not surprisingly, according to the Telegraph, a royal source said Prince Harry was "proud and pleased" to receive the big honor. "It is very significant for him personally," the source added.
Knighthood comes at a big turning point in Harry's life, as he's set to leave the military later this month after 10 years of service.
