Kate Middleton bestowed with new honour - but there's a reason 'no other royal has had it before'

Kate Middleton has been bestowed with a new honour by King Charles, but a royal expert has claimed it is "one of the lowest orders" there is, meaning no member of the Royal Family has had it before. A new raft of honours was announced by the King on Tuesday and on the list was the Princess of Wales, who was appointed Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour. But if the honour doesn't seem too familiar, royal blogger Gertrude Daly reckons there is a reason for that, as she says members of the family "usually receive much higher honours".

Camilla could 'step up' to help Queen and 'set precedent for Kate', says expert
Duchess of Cornwall could lead the way for Kate Middleton to be added to the Counsellors of State in a “slimming down” of the monarchy, according to a royal expert.It is believed that Prince Charles’ wife Camila could be added earlier as the heir apparent’s spouse rather than having non-working royals removed.The potential move would set a precedent that could allow the Duchess of Cambridge to be added to the Counsellors of State.According to law, the Counsellors of State are the Sovereign's spouse and the next four people in the line of succession, but all have to be over the age of 21.Currently, Prince Harry, Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Andrew are the four people who form the Queen’s Counsellors of State.Royal expert Gertrude Daly, host of Gert's Royal podcast, believes adding Camilla would be the easiest option to have more working royals as Counsellors of State.If the decision is made to add Camila, it could also see Kate added to the role to replace Charles rather than the next line in succession, which would be Princess Beatrice.Gertrude told the Daily Star: “If they did want to add someone to the Counsellors of State, what may be easier than removing Prince Andrew and Prince Harry, is to include the heir apparent’s spouse as a Counsellors of State.“Since Duchess Camilla is already going to be added, during Prince Charles’s reign, it could make sense to add her now.
