Best Answer

Knight Grand Cross (or Dame Grand Cross) is the most senior grade of seven British orders of chivalry, three of which are obsolete. Knights and Dames Grand Cross rank after Baronets and Baronetesses and the senior orders of England, Scotland and Ireland (the Order of the Garter, the Order of the Thistle and the obsolete Order of St. Patrick respectively), and before the Order of the Companions of Honour, interspersed with the Order of Merit, Baronets, the Order of the Crown of India.

Current orders that award the rank of Knight (or Dame) Grand Cross (not counting obsolete orders):

  • Order of the Bath (GCB)
  • Order of St Michael and St George (GCMG)
  • Royal Victorian Order (GCVO)
  • Order of the British Empire (GBE)
