King Charles stripped nine people of their MBEs and OBEs in 2026 over crimes, misconduct, or damage to the honours system’s reputation.
King Charles has revoked the MBEs and OBEs of nine individuals in 2026 due to criminal convictions, professional misconduct, or actions that damaged the honours system’s reputation.
Among them are Paul Allen Rose, founder of Barrow's Owl Sanctuary, stripped after pleading guilty to animal welfare violations in 2024, and former rugby captain Stuart Hogg, whose MBE was removed following a domestic abuse conviction.
Others were removed for similar reasons, including criminal charges, professional censure, or reputational harm.
The decisions, published in The Gazette on March 5, 2026, reflect the monarchy’s authority to uphold the integrity of the UK honours system through formal forfeiture.
