    David Cameron's career is marked by a series of historic firsts. He became the youngest British prime minister since the Earl of Liverpool in 1812, at age 43. He led the first coalition government since World War II and oversaw the legalization of same-sex marriage, a landmark social reform. His decision to hold the 2016 EU referendum, while ultimately ending his premiership, was a defining moment in modern British history. He was appointed a Knight Companion of the Order of the Garter in 2024, the UK's highest order of chivalry.
