The late H.S.H. the Most Revd. Kermit W. Poling, Royal Patron of the San Luigi Orders, first met King Peter II in 1965. In 1967, the King conferred upon him the honour of Knight Bachelor. The King issued the Royal Proclamation and Statutes creating the Royal Association of Knights Bachelor on 20 July 1969. These confirmed his earlier command of 30 June 1969 that “It is my desire, as Royal Protector of the Royal Association of Knights Bachelor, that all Knights of our Membership use the title Sir before their names…” (See reproduction of the Royal documents in The Augustan, XIX:I, 1977)
