Former “Baywatch” babe Pamela Anderson has been named a countess of Montenegro.

The Playboy playmate was knighted Countess of the Lily by self-proclaimed Prince Stephan in a ceremony Saturday in Italy.

He bestowed the honor in deference to Anderson’s years of activism helping sea animals.

But Stephan’s own claim to royalty is shaky. Montenegro hasn’t had a monarchy since 1918.
