Is there a similar but different award for doing the same thing when
the Crown is not present at an event?

Why the requirement that the Crown be present? Is performing

exceptional service of less importance when the Crown is not
present?

Or is having the Crown present such an onerous addition that the

same service is much more difficult when the Crown is present?
This just seems so strange to someone outside of the East Kingdom. I
do however applaud the requirement that the award not be given at
the same event as the occurrence since that allows time for reflection
and avoids precipitous decisions.
