Before 1947, Indian princes and citizens of the princely states were made substantive members of the two Indian orders (Order of the Star of India and Order of the Indian Empire), but honorary members of the other orders.

Notes

1. ^ ^{a b c d e f g h} The term "British subject" in this context refers to a subject of Her Majesty in right of the United Kingdom. Since 1983, this includes British citizens, British overseas territories citizens, British Overseas citizens, British Nationals (Overseas) and British subjects under the British Nationality Act 1981. See British nationality law. Between 1949 and 1982 the term referred to Citizens of the United Kingdom and Colonies together with British subjects under the British Nationality Act 1948. See History of British nationality law
2. ^ ^{a b c} British nationality was automatically lost by naturalisation in a non-Commonwealth country (such as the United States) prior to 1 January 1949. See History of British nationality law
3. ^ Australian citizenship was in general automatically lost by adult naturalization in another country before 4 April 2002
4. ^ British Dependent Territories citizens solely connected with Hong Kong by birth, descent or naturalisation lost that status on 30 June 1997 if a citizen of another country, including the Peoples Republic of China. This provision applied to most ethnic Chinese British nationals in Hong Kong. Those who wished to do so were allowed to retain British nationality by registering for British National (Overseas) status by 1997, but this was optional. See British nationality law and Hong Kong. Those former British Dependent Territories citizens who have acquired British National (Overseas) status remain eligible for substantive knighthoods. In all other cases a knighthood awarded on or after 1 July 1997 is honorary if the recipient is not otherwise a British national or citizen of another Commonwealth Realm.
