In a heartfelt gesture, King Charles took a personal hand in choosing a new honor for Kate Middleton, signaling the deepening of their relationship.
The new titles bestowed upon Kate Middleton by King Charles are a clear reflection of the growing bond between them.
King Charles, who bestowed these titles upon his beloved daughter-in-law Kate Middleton, did so as a testament to their close bond.
According to a source close to the royal family, speaking to The Sun, the monarch's choice of the honorific title for Kate was driven by the high esteem in which she is held.
Kate has been appointed as the Royal Companion of the Order of the Companion of Honour, positioning her as the most senior member among the regular holders of The Order of the Companion of Honour.
"This is recognition and reward for the services and work contributed to public life by the Prince, Princess, Queen, and Duchess, particularly since the Accession," the source explained.
This news comes at a time when the bond between Charles and Kate is strengthening as they both face battles with cancer. Reports suggest they recently shared a meal at Windsor Castle following their unexpected diagnoses.
Established by King George V in 1917, the Order of the Companions of Honour aims to recognize outstanding achievements in various fields such as arts, sciences, medicine, and public service.
In addition to Kate's appointment, Prince William has been appointed as the Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, succeeding Charles.
Furthermore, Queen Camilla has been appointed as the Grand Master and First or Principal Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, a title previously held by Prince Philip from 1953 to 2021.
