By appointing his “beloved” daughter-in-law to the rank of Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour, King Charles has shown his gratitude in a way that only royalty can.
This is a new appointment to the Order, according to the palace.
Since this is the first time a member of the Royal Family has ever been named to the Companions of Honor, royal observers will view it as a significant step by the King.
King George V established it in 1917 to honor notable contributions to the fields of public service, science, the arts, and medicine.
Kate’s patronage of the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A Museum, and the Royal Photographic Society is indicative of her interest in the arts.
