Princess Kate has been bestowed with a series of prestigious accolades by King Charles in a remarkable display of recognition.

Among these honors is the distinguished title of Companion of Honor, an esteemed order reserved for a select group of individuals – only 65 in total – who have made significant contributions in fields such as arts, science, medicine, and public service over the years.

She now joins the ranks of luminaries like Desmond Tutu and Stephen Hawking, marking the first time in over a decade that a member of the royal family has received such an appointment.

In addition to honoring Princess Kate, King Charles also conferred titles upon his son and wife.

Prince Charles has been appointed as the Great Master for his inclusion in the Order of the Bath, while Camilla has been named the Grandmaster and First Dame Grand Cross in the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
