Agreed. That is notable. Very nice to see JK on the list. Speaks volumes.

I mean he's more than the person who provided proof for Associated News. He was a high level aide who did a good job (And apparently was the one who realised and was willing to start doing something about the fact staff had no recourse against "principals"). And worked a lot for The Royal Foundation.

Nevertheless the fact that he was given an order by the King's own wishes is significant.

Oh yes. He absolutely is. His entire resume is very impressive.
