Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip took a break from their Scottish summer holiday to bestow Paul Hughes, a former chief clerk and accountant of The Duke of Edinburgh’s household, the award of LVO, or Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order. This is an upgrade from his former status as Member of the Royal Victorian Order. The joint engagement of the queen and Philip, who retired from public duties in 2017, is very important to note, since the queen is on holiday and still took the time out from official royal events to bestow the award.
