Королевский Викторианский орден – династический орден рыцарства, учрежденный в 1896 году королевой Викторией. Он отмечает выдающиеся личные заслуги перед монархом, членами королевской семьи или любым наместником или старшим представителем монарха. Нынешний монарх, король Карл III, является сувереном ордена. Девиз ордена – «Виктория». Официальный день ордена – 20 июня. Часовня ордена – часовня Савой в Лондоне. Число награжденных в любой степени не ограничено. Прием в орден осуществляется исключительно по усмотрению монарха. Королева Виктория учредила Королевский Викторианский орден 21 апреля 1896 года как младший и личный орден рыцарства, позволявший ей непосредственно награждать за личные заслуги представителей всего Имперского сообщества. Организация была основана за год до бриллиантового юбилея королевы Виктории, чтобы у королевы было время составить список первых членов ордена. Официальным днем ордена было установлено 20 июня каждого года, в ознаменование годовщины восшествия королевы Виктории на престол. Сегодня он является отдельным орденом, хотя и выпускается канцелярией Королевского Викторианского ордена. Орден был открыт для иностранцев с момента своего основания, префект департамента Альпы Морские и мэр Ниццы стали первыми иностранцами, удостоенными этой чести в 1896 году. Ниже Великого Магистра находятся пять должностных лиц организации: Канцлер, занимаемый Лордом-камергером; Секретарь, занимаемый Хранителем Тайной печати и казначеем короля; Регистратор, занимаемый Секретарем Центральной канцелярии орденов рыцарства; Капеллан, занимаемый Капелланом Королевской часовни Савойи; и Генеалог. Далее следуют лица, награжденные различными степенями ордена, разделенными на пять уровней: два высших присваивают звание рыцаря, все они имеют пост-номинальные буквы, и, наконец, обладатели Королевской Викторианской медали из золота, серебра или бронзы.
