In a historic ceremony at Buckingham Palace on November 22, BLACKPINK members Jisoo, Jennie, Rose, and Lisa were bestowed with a prestigious royal honour by King Charles III. The Members of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (MBE) title was not only a recognition of their global impact in the music industry but also sparked discussions about the unique privileges, especially for Rose.

What is the MBE title?

The MBE title is a prestigious accolade reserved for individuals who have made noteworthy contributions to their communities across various fields, including arts, science, and culture. BLACKPINK's recognition in this order solidifies its impact beyond the realm of music.

What are the privileges Rose will get after receiving MBE?

While all BLACKPINK members received the MBE title, Rose stands out due to her dual citizenship (South Korea and New Zealand). This distinction makes her eligible for 'full' honours, setting her apart from her bandmates. New Zealand's affiliation with the British Commonwealth aligns with the criteria for this exceptional recognition under the UK monarch.

Beyond the title itself, Rose, now officially recognised as Roseanne Park MBE, is entitled to exclusive privileges. These perks extend beyond mere recognition and delve into the realm of British traditions.

One notable privilege is the eligibility for British Knighthood. This centuries-old tradition bestows individuals with a distinguished title, further emphasizing their contributions and standing in society. Rose has the opportunity to apply for a family coat of arms, a royal symbol representing her lineage.

Perhaps the most enchanting privilege is the ability for Rose (and her future children) to get married in St. Paul's Cathedral. The cathedral, with its rich history and significance, houses a special chapel reserved for individuals with substantial MBE titles. Notably, this is the same venue where Prince Charles and Princess Diana exchanged vows in 1981.
