I put in a comment in Charles' favor. The Garter knights are the oldest order of chivalry in the world. And, as I said, it takes a real man to wear a kilt.

Actually, the oldest surviving order is the Sovereign Military Order of Saint John, aka the Knights of Malta.
The only order older was the Templars, which are extinct.
The Garter is the oldest State Order of Chivalry.
