They (that mysterious, multi-kingdom, royal "they") still do surprise
peerages.  Both of mine were drive-bys.  The laurel was, uhm, maybe 15 years
ago? (actually can't remember), when we were still part of Atenveldt, and we
often weren't even told what we were being specifically recognized *for* (I
wasn't, but I think that gives me leave to change the descriptors as needed,
no? <g>).  The pel came much later (2 years ago this Fall), and we're now a
kingdom.  Friends in the circle knew I wanted advance notice, but the king
apparently felt that since it was the only time Their Majesties and I were
likely to be at the same event, they needed to do it *then.*  I still wish
somebody'd warned me--dress was a mess, and my hair was indescribably bad
(had been wearing a peri-oid muffin cap all day).  And I was rattled enough
that when I realized what was going on (had gone up to make an announcement
about a fund-raising raffle), that I actually exclaimed "oh, SHIT!" loudly
enough that the entire court heard me.
Let me tell you, in a small kingdom, they never, never let you forget things
like that.....
