LONDON — Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, author Ian McEwan, and immunologist and geneticist John Bell were named Companions of Honor, an order limited to 65 people at any time, in King Charles’ first birthday honors list on Friday.

Ms. Wintour, who has been editor of Vogue US since 1988, is one of the most powerful people in the fashion world and a philanthropist who has raised more than $300 million for the US Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute.

Mr. McEwan, who was appointed to the order for services to literature, is the author of acclaimed novels including Amsterdam, Atonement, and Enduring Love.

Mr. Bell’s three-decade-long mission to build vaccines research capability at the University of Oxford, where he is Regius Professor of Medicine, was vital to the development of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, the government said.

More than 1,000 people were rewarded in the king’s birthday honors for service in education, healthcare, philanthropy and other areas.

King Charles, who was crowned in May, celebrated his official birthday on Saturday with the “Trooping of the Color” military parade. The 74-year-old monarch’s real birthday is on Nov. 14. — Reuters
