Norland is delighted to congratulate Norlander Maria Turrion Borrallo, who has been formally recognised for her outstanding service and dedication to The Royal Family with an appointment to the Royal Victorian Order.

Established in 1896 by Queen Victoria, the Royal Victorian Medal recognises longstanding personal service to The Sovereign and The Royal Family. Appointments to the Order are made entirely at the discretion of The Sovereign, underscoring the significance of this recognition.

Maria’s award places her among those recognised for their exceptional commitment and service, reflecting the trust and esteem in which she is held.

This honour is a fitting acknowledgement of Maria’s professionalism and dedication to the values that define Norland’s training. Norland extends its warmest congratulations to Maria on this prestigious and well‑deserved achievement.
