King Charles III has given Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, a new title, Princess of Wales, and an additional honor, The Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour.
This recognition comes in appreciation of her growing role within the royal family and the esteem in which she is held.
The titles were bestowed on St. George's Day and include prestigious recipients like J.K. Rowling and Sir Elton John.
On the same day,
Prince William was named Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath, and Camilla, the Queen Consort, received the Grand Master and First or Principal Dame Grand Cross of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire.
These honors were given to mark their birthdays, with Prince Louis turning six.
A new portrait was released to commemorate the occasion.
The text discusses the ongoing celebrations for the Platinum Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II, despite challenging times for the royal family.
Both the Princess of Wales and King Charles are currently battling cancer.
The Princess's diagnosis, which required preventative chemotherapy, was announced in January after a planned abdominal surgery and a lengthy recovery period.
This news came shortly after King Charles's cancer diagnosis.
