Mr Borrow-Longain was honoured and privileged to have been invested with the Grand Cordon of the Royal & Heshimate Order of the Pearl by the Head of the Royal House of the Sulanate of Sulu.
The order is an honourable and nobiliary corporation instituted as a dynastic Order of Datuship analogous to traditional dynastic orders of chivalry, and is in direct continuation from the ancient customs and distinctions of the Royal Sultanate of Sulu and the Court of the Sultan.
No specific courtesy titles are awarded to Members of the Order but those belonging in the upper class who are either a Distinguished Companion or a Grand Cordon are permitted to use conventional honorific titles of Honourable or Excellency. As a British Subject Mr Borrow-Longain uses neither publicly.
