Bionic Buzz® got to cover the Royal Society of St. George, California Commemoration for Queen Elizabeth II and Awards Ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California. The event included a moment of silence in honor of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, a memory table with a guest book people could sign, and a champagne toast to welcome His Majesty King Charles III to the throne. The Royal Society of St. George is a charity organization that was established in 1894 to encourage interest in the English way of life, English customs, and “Englishness.”

The event was hosted by Princess Karen Cantrell, Chairman of the Royal Society of St. George, California Branch, and began with five RSSG members being confirmed as members of the Confrérie du Sabre d’ Or by Philippe Milgrom, the US Ambassador for the Confrérie. They were Maryanne Parker, Ralph Jarrells, Chevalier Carlos Bright Sr., LABA Blue-chip artist Jiannan Huang, and Joey Zhou, founder of the Los Angeles Beverly Arts (LABA). Since Jiannan Huang and Joey Zhou were unable to attend the event, Princess Karen Cantrell, accepted their certificates. The Confrérie has promoted the wine of Champagne in France and the Art of Sabrage (the act of opening a bottle of Champagne with a sword) for more than 30 years.

Jiannan Huang is one of the world’s finest artists, specializing in Chinese ink and oil painting. He is ranked third on the 2020 Hurun China Art List and 19th on the Hurun Global List with art sales of $29 million. In 2020, Huang was invited by the LABA International Art Festival Organizing Committee to participate in the LABA International Art Festival as a Blue-chip artist. Last year, he was awarded an honorary membership into the Royal Society of St. George, California.
