The Prince and Princess of Wales have received appointments from King on St George’s Day. These are effective from today, 23 April.
The Princess of Wales
The Princess of Wales has been appointed a Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour.
It was founded by King George V in 1917 to recognise outstanding achievements in the arts, sciences, medicine, and public service. This is the first time a member of the royal family has been appointed in the order’s history.
As well as being a personal thank you for her loyal service to the Crown, it is also an acknowledgment of her contribution to the arts. She is the patron of The Royal Photographic Society and The National Portrait Gallery, as well as inspiring lockdown photography project, Hold Still.
The Prince of Wales
The Prince of Wales has appointed Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath.
The ancient order was established by King George I in 1725 but is believed to have originally dated back as far as the 8th century and was awarded to members of the military or civil service for exemplary service.

Not to play the Elder Royal Watcher card but you have to ration out your outrage or this place will eat you alive. All that's happened is some of you have realised...the monarchy isn't equal? What an absolute shocker. This doesn't negatively impact anyone at all so just chill out and have a nap. Someone else will do something controversial next week, move on.

I hope Kate Middleton is photoshopping those pictures herself. I hope she had a fight with the royal family and they are all outside her door, begging to just please, let us take one normal picture of you, they all think we murdered you! Kate! Kate!
And then she puts another, even shittier, photomanipulated pic on twitter.
