They aren't considered that ex officio?  That's what I've always
thought.  The heir to the UK's throne doesn't have to be a member when
they succeed to the throne, but Wikipedia states, and "the monarch is
the fount of honour" implies, that the new sovereign is ipso facto
Sovereign of the Garter.

Cite?  I don't see it in kingdom law.
