He created the position just for her. Buckingham Palace announced in April that King Charles III “has been graciously pleased to appoint Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales” to be a “Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honour.” The new title gifted to Princess Kate is historic, as it makes Prince William’s wife the first member of Britain’s royal family to ever be appointed to the order, which was founded 107 years ago to recognize service to the arts, sciences, medicine and public service and is restricted to just 65 members.
Kate is grateful to be honored by the monarch — but it’s also sparked some more complicated feelings. In the wake of her cancer diagnosis earlier this year following a mysterious January abdominal surgery, Kate — who hasn’t been seen in public since revealing her health crisis to the world in a video on March 22 — pulled back from royal duties as she continued to heal from her operation and quietly began chemotherapy. And, Life & Style has learned, it will be some time before she’ll step out as the order’s new Royal Companion, or in any other public-facing role, with her return to work further delayed as she focuses on getting well.
