Queen Camilla is set to be bestowed with a new royal title following her increased responsibilities since King Charles was diagnosed with cancer.
The announcement of her new role is scheduled to take place at a special ceremony at Clarence House next week.
This significant development comes in light of recent events within the British Royal Family.
In an investiture ceremony slated for February 13 at Clarence House, Queen Camilla will be appointed as the Honorary Painter of the Worshipful Company of Fan Makers.
The event promises to be a grand affair, with the presence of notable figures such as the Duchess of Gloucester, spouse of the Duke of Gloucester and a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
Queen Camilla’s affinity for the history, culture, and artistry of fans has been well-documented, particularly through her patronage of the Fan Museum since 2008.
Situated in a charming Grade II listed Georgian townhouse in London’s Greenwich, the museum has been a beacon for enthusiasts worldwide.
Notably, it hosted the “Coronation and Celebrations” exhibition last year, attracting visitors from diverse corners to commemorate King Charles III’s coronation.
During the upcoming ceremony on February 13, Queen Camilla will engage with representatives from both the Fan Museum and the Fan Makers’ Court, actively participating in the installation proceedings.
A specially crafted fan by Mr. Stuart Parvin MVO, commissioned in 2020 to symbolize the global impact of the pandemic, will be presented to her on this occasion.
Amidst the recent health challenges faced by King Charles, Queen Camilla has continued to fulfill her royal obligations with grace and poise.
Her public appearance at Salisbury Cathedral for a charity concert honoring local organizations like the Wiltshire Bobby Van Trust exemplifies her unwavering commitment to supporting noble causes.
Despite the somber news surrounding her husband’s health, Queen Camilla radiated positivity during her public appearance, donning an elegant cream ensemble.
Those acquainted with Queen Camilla express confidence in her ability to shoulder additional responsibilities as King Charles navigates his cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
In a poignant reflection on their relationship, Queen Camilla’s sister, Annabel Elliot, affectionately referred to her as the “King’s Rock” in a BBC documentary titled “Charles III, The Year of the Coronation.”
