Just like our college entrance examination, for a small number of elites in British high society, this June is also a joy for some people, some people are worried.
On 13 June, the ceremony for the awarding of the Order of the Garter, a symbol of supreme glory, was held at Windsor Castle.
The Queen wears a simple and atmospheric silver and ankle gown with tonal half-heeled shoes, wearing a blue Guardian ribbon on top of the dress, and a pair of diamond petal earrings and two pearl necklaces as embellishments, looking elegant and noble.
Traditionally, knights of the Order of the Garter, including the Queen, should wear velvet robes mopping the floor and exaggerated hats decorated with white ostrich and black heron feathers.
But now the queen relies on crutches to walk, and such a complex costume, wearing and taking off, is a huge project, so it is omitted.
The Ceremony of the Order of the Garter is, in a sense, even more important than the Queen's celebrations in early June.
Because there are very few recipients, they are only eligible for the British Monarch, the Prince of Wales and up to 24 living members.
In addition to the Queen, Prince Charles, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew, Prince Edward and the eldest grandson Prince William, these hereditary high nobles.
The remaining "ordinary civilians" who can receive the Garter Medal are very rare, each one is a dragon and phoenix among people, and the gold content of the medal is unimaginable.
And this year's candidate to win this super honor is the former British prime minister, the 69-year-old Tony Blair.
Blair and his family of six attended the grand conferment ceremony of the Guangzong Yaozu.
His wife, Cherie Blair, 67, is a barrister. On that day, Cheri appeared at the venue in a flowing printed dress, with a very playful and cute blue mesh hat, the scenery is unlimited.
Cherie looked well-maintained, and although her figure was somewhat blessed, her elegance and decency were still online, and she looked younger and younger than her already white-haired husband.
With such a high achievement, Blair's good mood could not be hidden, and he had an irrepressible smile on his face. As a wife, Cheri is also difficult to hide her joy, and the couple can't close their mouths with joy.
Blair at the scene held a hat in his hand and proudly chatted with Cheri. They are very affectionate between husband and wife, the feelings are very good, and the wind and rain have been in the same boat for so many years, and the love between the two is deeply moving.
Mr. and Mrs. Blair have three sons and a daughter, and when they were prime ministers, Mr. and Mrs. Blair paid great attention to protecting the privacy of their families and rarely revealed information about their families.
This photograph, taken in 2002 at the gate of 10 Downing Street, is one of the few publicly available family photos of their family of six.
Today, however, Blair's children are also dressed up for the event to share important moments of joy in their father's life.
As the 34-year-old Catherine, the most "heavyweight" daughter of the Blair family, she also earned enough eyeballs at the event site today.
Catherine chose a mid-size blue dress that is very in line with the royal aesthetic, and the skirt part is very dreamy and retro, but this weighs more than 180 pounds, which looks too fat!
Catherine's facial features are still relatively delicate, but the body is too fat, but people can not be disguised, she inherited her mother's career, is also a lawyer, and the same as the eldest brother graduated from Oxford University, is a university bully.
Blair's eldest son, 38-year-old eldest son, Euan Blair, who graduated from Oxford University and is the founder of an educational technology startup, is said to be worth more than £330 million (about 2.7 billion RMB) and is a proper billionaire.
Euan's wife, Suzanne Ashman, is also a talented elite, a financier, a partner at a venture capital firm, and one of the "leading European financiers under the age of 30."
The second is Nicolas, 36, who travels with David Beckham and is a successful football agent.
In 2002, the youngest son of the family, Leo, was still a 2-year-old cute baby who was held in the arms of his father. Now he is also a younger brother of his older siblings and a university student at Oxford University.
The Blair family is really super domineering, the family is all elite celebrities, which is naturally inseparable from the credit of Cheri, and the Garter Medal is the icing on the cake for the Blair family.
In fact, in January of this year, when the British people learned that Blair had been knighted and awarded the Order of Garter, they were furious.
On one petition site, more than 400,000 people even signed to revoke Blair's knighthood, but fortunately, in the end, there was no surprise.
Blair's highlight will definitely make the "active" minority elites in the United Kingdom look red to the point of not being able to do it, especially David Beckham, the representative of English football, will definitely be stuffed in the Pacific.
Late last year, Beckham was officially nominated for knighthood and was added to the official list of recommendations. If nothing else, in June of this year, he will be able to receive the Knight's Medal.
In fact, as early as 2003, Beckham won the OBE Medal, but this is only a symbol of the jazz candidate.
XiaoBei looked forward to the arrival of the day of the knighthood, and waited bitterly for nearly 20 years, waiting from Xiaobei to becoming an old shell, and the yellow broccoli was cold and stubble, and it was still ruthlessly rejected.
The reason is likely to be the controversial and huge endorsement contract he signed with Qatar.
Previously, David Beckham was invited to be the face of the Qatar World Cup, signing a 10-year endorsement agreement and earning up to £150 million (about 1.2 billion yuan) in endorsement fees.
However, the British do not like the Middle East country of Qatar very much, thinking that in order to make money, Xiaobei will take everything and lose his style.
In addition, the previous tax evasion scandal, being blacklisted by the tax bureau, and being privately exposed because he could not get a knighthood, he scolded the honor committee behind his back, and so on.
In fact, the Beckhams were even more wronged than Dou'e, and in order to be knighted, they honestly became the couple with the highest tax payment in the United Kingdom, paying up to 12.7 million pounds in taxes in 12 months, becoming the annual tax payers.
He also works hard every year to do charity, not only to do it himself, but also to do charity with his children, which is very hard.
After all, having a knighthood is a symbol of status, in order to truly integrate into high society, to help enter the political arena in the future, and even the children attend the private high school Eton College where the nobles and rich are gathered, it will become much simpler.
Unfortunately, in the end, there was no drama.
Now that Blair has won the title and medal "ceiling" that the Couple has longed for decades, his spirit is even more set off by Xiaobei's embarrassment.
However, Xiaobei is still young, only 47 years old this year, and his children are also very good, and the future is still bright.
