King Charles III bestowed his daughter-in-law Kate Middleton with a new title on Tuesday, honouring her with The Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour. The title was bestowed on her in recognition of the Princess of Wales “taking on more responsibilities”, a report by the Independent said.
The other two people who hold this title are JK Rowling and Sir Elton John. Kate was given the title as part of a St George’s Day tradition. Her husband, Prince William, was also bestowed with the title earlier. He was honoured with the title Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath.
Kate Middleton will celebrate her youngest son, Prince Louis’s, birthday on Tuesday and the palace will be releasing a new picture to celebrate Prince Louis turning six.
Kate Middleton, following her marriage to Prince William, has been bestowed several royal titles. She is also known as the Princess of Wales, Duchess of Cambridge, Duchess of Cornwall, Duchess of Rothesay, Countess of Chester, Countess of Carrick, Baroness of Carrickfergus and Baroness of Renfrew.
Kate, who is three times a duchess, began to use the Duchess of Cornwall title after Queen Elizabeth’s death in 2022.
Prince William and Princess Kate were known as the “Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and Cambridge” only for a few hours. Those hours were in between the queen’s death and King Charles passing the title of the Prince of Wales to his son.
Princess Kate is a title that media outlets across the world have bestowed on her. This is technically incorrect because that would mean she was born into the royal family.
The UK royal who announced earlier this year that she has been diagnosed with cancer, will receive a huge emotional boost after her father-in-law bestowed her with the new title.
She also has several military titles as well, like, the Colonel of the Irish Guards, Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm, Colonel-in-Chief of the 1st Queen’s Dragoon Guards, Royal Honorary Air Commodore of the R.A.F. Coningsby and Royal Honorary Air Commodore of the Air Cadets.
When Prince Harry stepped aside from royal duties in 2020, Kate Middleton was named the royal patron of the Rugby Football Union and Rugby Football League.
She also officially gained the style of Her Royal Highness (HRH) after her marriage.
