Knight of Honor refers to the personal bodyguards recruited by a princess of the Imperial Family. In the way Euphemia Li Britannia employs Suzaku and Cornelia employed Guilford, similar cases have been seen in regards to the Emperor of Britannia. Similar to the way Charles zi Britannia employed the Knights of Rounds and Lelouch had Suzaku Kururugi (the Knight of Zero), but this would more likely be a special Order of Knighthood, and it's uncertain if Princes are also permitted Knights of Honor, or if they are known by another name.

Upon recieving this title, in service of Euphemia, Suzaku was promoted to Major - a promotion of four ranks, according to Japanese convention.
