This is a list of awards, decorations, honours, orders and titles belonging to Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. If a single date is listed in the Dates column, then it is the date of the attaining of the award or title. If two are listed, then the first indicates the date of the attaining of the award or title, and the second indicates the date of its loss. (Many titles were lost when colonies became independent states. Others were lost when the Queen ascended to the throne, and took higher titles.) The very long list of Queen Elizabeth's titles and honours gave rise to the assertion that when the Queen is late for official ceremonies, the ceremony master starts reading out her titles precisely at the moment the Queen is supposed to appear, proceeding thus until the Queen arrives. Though never officially confirmed by the Palace, this assertion is widely believed to be true.
