the meaning of the two new titles assigned by King Charles

Prince William and his wife Kate are the future of the royal family And King Charles III wanted to reiterate it loud and clear with a new certificate which acquires an even more important meaning given the delicate period that the Windsors are going through. His Majesty assigned on Tuesday 23 April two new honors for his son and wifeyet another proof of the affection and esteem he has for i princes of Wales.

William and Kate’s new titles

As announced by Buckingham Palace as per tradition on St. George’s Day, Kate Middleton was awarded the title of by her father-in-law member of the Order of the Companions of Honour. To be part of the order founded by King George V in 1917 to reward the exceptional achievements of subjects in the arts, sciences, medicine and public service, the symbolic singers of the British scene, Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Elton John, the journalist English Anna Wintour but also Mary Quant, designer who became famous throughout the world for inventing the miniskirt, JK Rowling and Stephen Hawking.

The appointment of the daughter-in-law who stood out for her commitment to art but also to public service is more than symbolic. It had never happened to a member of the royal family British to be part of Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour.

A confirming exception the importance of Kate’s role in The Firm and the great consideration that the king feels for her. “She’s the daughter he would have wanted”write the English tabloids commenting on the royal news. “He always had a great connection with her,” admitted royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith to People“the king shares with William the impulse to protect her. They are in this together, Kate and the king.” Kate and Carlo are both battling cancera coincidence that in its fatality brought them even closer.

New appointment also for Prince William awarded the title of Great Master of the Most Honorable Order of the Bath. An honor with great sentimental value: established in the 18th century as a reward for exemplary service in military or civil life, in fact, the rank was held by the king in his years as Prince of Wales and was vacant since his accession to the throne. A passing of the baton, from father and son, from king in office and his successor.

As the Duchess of Gloucester Birgitte Eva van Deurs becomes a member of the oldest of chivalric orders, the Order of the Garter, which dates back to the 14th century, so too Queen Camilladoes not remain empty-handed: the monarch’s wife has been designated the Grand Master and First or Principal Dame Grand Cross The Most Excellent Order of The British Empireessentially the order of the British Empire (now no longer in existence).

Camilla’s rank is the highest after that of the King, who heads the Order of the British Empire. Before Camilla, Prince Philip, Queen Mary and Edward VIII also had a similar recognition when he was still Prince of Wales.
