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.
New appointments from the King; Princess of Wales is made Royal Companion of the Order of Companions of Honour; William is Great Master of the Order of the Bath & Camilla Grand Master of OBE. Plus Duchess of Glos and Lord Loyd-Webber join the Garter.

The then Duchess of Cambridge attended the ANZAC service. Jewels from Princess Diana were present - The Collingwood earrings.
These diamond and pearl drop earrings are ultimate classics: absolutely timeless, perfectly versatile, and endlessly useful. The earrings feature a round diamond stud, from which is suspended an additional round diamond and a bell cap set with three more rows of small diamonds. The bell caps each contain a lovely pearl drop.
~ The Court Jeweller
The Duchess also wore a new brooch, suspected to be a piece from Robinson Pelham. A jeweller who also designed the earrings Catherine wore on her wedding day.
