The Order of Saint Peter of Cetinje (Serbian Cyrillic: Орден Светог Петра Цетињског) is the a dynastic order of the Royal House of Petrović-Njegoš.[1] As Montenegro is now a republic, the order is distributed as a private house order of the deposed family.[1] The Order is bestowed upon prominent members of the Petrović-Njegoš family,[2] as well as to others.
The name of Prince Danilo, the first Montenegrin ruler with a purely secular title, is inscribed on the Decoration.
The Order was named after the Patron Saint of the Montenegrin Orthodox Church, Prince-Bishop (Vladika) Peter I Petrović, the person who effectively obtained independence for Montenegro, and to whom is attributed the creation of the modern Montenegrin State.

Crown Prince Nicolas Petrovitch Njegosh invested H.M.E.M. Grand Master Fra' Andrew Bertie with the insignia of Knight Grand Cross with Diamond Star in the Order of Danilo I, and that of the Order of Saint Petar of Cetinje what is, for a foreign citizen, an extremely rare honour since the Order is normally reserved for members of the Royal Family of Montenegro and their kinsmen
