The Princess of Wales, who was undergoing cancer treatment, has been awarded a newly created title.

King Charles III has granted Kate and Prince William new honors in recognition of their service and dedication to public life, with Queen Camilla also receiving a new title.

In a recent announcement, King Charles III appointed Kate Middleton as the “Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour.” This is a brand-new designation, with no previous holder.

The Order of the Companions of Honour, established by King George V in 1917, was created to recognize exceptional achievements in public service, the arts, medicine, and the sciences.

Despite her ongoing health battle, Kate continues to show commitment to her causes. Her work with organizations such as the Little Princess Trust and her early childhood development initiative, Shaping Us, highlights her dedication.
