King Charles gave Kate Middleton a new royal title in a move considered historic, as her battle with cancer continues.
HE GRANTED ONE OF THE ROYAL’S MOST DISTINGUISHED TITLES TO HIS BRIDE KATE
The British monarch recently appointed the Princess of Wales as a Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour. The princess, a mother of three, became the first member of the royal family to be appointed to the Order of the Companions of Honour.
This title, which previous kings and queens had not granted to a member of the family from outside, went down in history for this reason.
First presented by King George V in 1917, this decoration is awarded to reward achievements in the arts, science, medicine and public service.
It’s also one of the most distinguished royal titles, according to royal experts.
WHEN HE GAVE HIS ENGAGEMENT TO HIS BRIDE, HE DID NOT FORGET HIS SON TOO.
The order currently has 65 members, including Elton John, Paul McCartney and JK Rowling. The new honors list was announced by Buckingham Palace on Tuesday, April 23, also known as St. George’s Day in the UK.
At the same ceremony held at St. George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle, it was revealed that Charles also appointed his eldest son, Prince William, as “Grand Master of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath.”
King Charles also wore the same decoration when he was Prince of Wales between 1974 and 2022. According to the outlet, Charles’ predecessors include Prince Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1942-1974) and Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn (1901-1942).
At the ceremony, the king’s wife, Queen Camilla, was also appointed Grand Master and First or First Lady Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire. The post was previously held by the king’s father, Prince Philip, from 1953 to 2021.
HIS “BELOVED BRIDE” IS PRECIOUS TO HIM THAN EVERYONE
This latest royal title given to Kate Middleton is seen as a sign of 75-year-old Charles’ support for his bride. Both the monarch and the princess have been battling cancer for the past few months.
It is known that Charles is very fond of 42-year-old Middleton. During his state visit to Kenya in 2023, the monarch explained how his eldest son William proposed to Middleton in 2010 and addressed her as “my beloved bride” in this emotional speech.
WATER DOES NOT LEAK THROUGH THEM
Kate Middleton also has a very good relationship with her father-in-law, Charles. The two often hug and kiss during public events, and Kate Middleton even makes Charles burst into laughter with her frequent jokes.
Royal expert author Sally Bedell Smith, who wrote the book “George VI and Elizabeth: The Marriage That Saved the Monarchy,” said the king and princess now have another common bond due to their cancer diagnosis. “Obviously, they have this in common, and it can only bring them closer.” “It’s a source of reassurance and consolation for both of them,” she said.
