Kate Middleton receives prestigious induction into the Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour as the royal family navigates personal health struggles and ongoing tensions with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Kate Middleton was honoured by King Charles with induction into the Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour for “taking on more responsibilities.” This prestigious recognition places her in the esteemed company of figures like JK Rowling and Sir Elton John. The honour was announced as she was also celebrating her youngest son’s birthday. Additionally, Prince William, now the Prince of Wales, has been appointed the Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, and Queen Camilla has been named a Grand Master.
The royal family has recently faced personal health challenges, with both King Charles and the Princess of Wales, Kate, receiving treatment for cancer. King Charles underwent cancer treatment earlier this year, and Princess Kate has stepped back from public life due to her cancer diagnosis, undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
In other royal family news, tensions have been ongoing following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision to step down as senior working royals. PR expert Edward Coram-James offered advice for Meghan, suggesting she should engage more with royal duties in the UK to help mend the rift. Coram-James proposed that Meghan’s attendance at the Invictus ceremony in May could be a significant step. With Prince Harry expected to visit the UK soon, speculation abounds about whether Meghan and their children, Archie and Lilibet, will join him. This visit could be an opportunity for Meghan to showcase a commitment to the family during a challenging period for the royals.
