Buckingham Palace announced Tuesday that King Charles had appointed Kate Middleton to a prestigious new title—one that’s a first in the history of the British royal family.
Middleton, the Princess of Wales, was named Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour, which makes her the first ever Royal Companion named to that order.
The official royal website says the Order of the Companions of Honour is “a special award granted to those who have made a major contribution to the arts, science, medicine, or government lasting over a long period of time.”
