And it does not mean Knight of the Garter as this person is alive.

I't's an honour bestowed by the Queen and stands for Knight of the Garter. That's the sensible answer - except that they go AFTER the name.

It means the person is a knight of the Garter, and it comes after a persons name, not before it. It is an order of chivalry, and not many people have been honoured with it. It goes back to the days of the french court when a ladies Garter accidentally slipped down to her ankle. Al the men at court stared at the woman, and the king stood up and said "Hon Y sois que mal I ponse" which translates to "Evil to him who evil thinks". I think you will find these words written on the Royal Coat of Arms.

KG (usually written without full-stops) DOES stand for 'Knight of the Garter'. You don't have to be dead to receive this particular honour; in fact, I think you have to be alive. I've never heard of a KG being bestowed posthumously. And it's supposed to go after the name.
If it really IS with full-stops and really IS before the name, then it could stand for Kenneth George.

Knight of the Garter. It means they like wearing frilly underwear.
