Both Distinct Honor and Privilegeย are used when talking about somethingย that is of special value or advantage to experience or have.
Distinct means specific, unquestionable, easily seen to be different from other things.
โ€œGarlic has a distinct smell.โ€
This means that the smell is clearly specific to garlic and smells different to other things.
Honorย means different things. Firstly, honor can mean something of high respect.ย Or, it can mean that it is of great benefit or a symbol of respect.

โ€œItโ€™s an honor to be hereโ€.
This means it is a sign of great respect and good fortune (to feel lucky) to be there.
A Distinct Honor is a stronger ways of saying honor andย meansย to be specifically respected. Itโ€™s a polite term used in formal situations.

For example โ€œItโ€™s a distinct honor to meet the Queen of Englandโ€.
This means it is an enormous sign of respect and good fortune to have the chance to meet a person like Queen.

Privilegeย is a special advantage or aย benefit received. It is more connected to something earned or that the person has worked for.

For example โ€œExpensive champagne is a privilege of flying first class.โ€
You would not say it is an honor to receive the champagne. Because it is part of the benefit of a first-class ticket purchase. Itโ€™s not a symbol of respect.
