Charles will knight the Archbishop of Canterbury and bestow a damehood on bestselling author Jilly Cooper.
Sir Richard Moore, Chief of the Secret Intelligence Service, is made a Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George by the King at an investiture in December
The monarch, who was given permission by his doctors to return to public duties last month, will greet 52 recipients one by one at Windsor Castle.Although it will be his largest indoor ceremony for many months, the investiture is on a slightly smaller scale than usual. Awards of the Royal Victorian Order are in the King’s gift and are bestowed independently of Downing Street to people who have served the monarch or the royal family in a personal way.
Dame Jilly is a long-standing friend of Queen Camilla, and the author based her fictional seducer Rupert Campbell-Black partly on Camilla’s ex-husband Andrew Parker Bowles.Other recipients being honoured for their role in the coronation include the Dean of Westminster Abbey, the Very Rev Dr David Hoyle, who was made a Knight Commander of the Royal Victorian Order , and Household Division Brigade Major Lieutenant Colonel James Shaw who has become a Lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order .
