The British monarch appointed the Princess of Wales a Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour. She is the first member of the royal family to be appointed.
King Charles III has given his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton a new historic title. On Tuesday, the British monarch appointed the Princess of Wales a Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour. The mother of three is the first member of the royal family to ever be appointed to the Companions of Honour. According to Harper’s Bazaar, the order was founded by King George V in 1917. It recognizes accomplishments in art, science, medicine and public service.
The order currently has 65 members, including Elton John, Paul McCartney and J.K. Rowling. The new list of honors was revealed by Buckingham Palace on April 23, which is also known as St. George’s Day in the U.K. Harper’s Bazaar also revealed that at the same ceremony, which took place at St. George’s Chapel at Windsor Castle, Charles appointed his eldest son, Prince William, as Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath.
Charles is known to be very fond of Middleton, 42. During his state visit to Kenya in 2023, the monarch recalled how William proposed to Middleton in the country in 2010. He called her 'my beloved daughter-in-law' at his address. Middleton is also known for showing affection toward the king. During public engagements, the pair exchange hugs and kisses on the cheek. The king 'has always had a very good bond with her,' author Sally Bedell Smith previously told People magazine.
Subsequent diagnostic tests have identified a form of cancer,' the palace said in a statement at the time. In a video shared in March, the Princess of Wales revealed that she, too, is battling a form of cancer, and has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy treatment.
