It is a rule that the number of Knights and Ladies Companion is limited to two dozen at any one time.

There is not a limit on the number of royal members, however. Originally the order’s members were aristocrats but now include men and women from a variety of backgrounds who are recognized for their public service, their contribution to national life, or their personal service to the sovereign according to the Daily Mail.

This is an honor that is given by the queen, without interference from the Government. The patron saint of the order is St. George and the spiritual home is St. George’s Chapel at Windsor. Vacancies are typically announced on St. George’s Day and rarely on New Year’s.
