On the website of the Svenska Heraldiska Föreningen I stumbled over this sentence:
"The last person to receive a charter of nobility was the explorer Sven Hedin who received his in 1902, more than a hundred years ago. And this will most likely be the last Swede ever. In 1974 the new constitution proclaimed that no person can be granted nobility nor receive the orders of the state."
My question goes about the marked part of the sentence. How do I have to understand it? Haven't Silvia Sommerlath and Lilian Craig been given Orders of State?
