King’s New Year’s Honours 2025

Kazuo Ishiguro is the first name on the 2025 King Charles III New Year’s Honours list. The list gives Ishiguro the Companion of Honour distinction, which BBC.com notes as rare, as it is “a select group which is limited to 65 people at any one time.” Jacqueline Wilson DBE is next on the High Awards list, given the Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire. The complete list celebrates over 1,200 people, including authors from a range of fields.

For more information, including the full list of recipients, see the official website.
