King Charles BAD NEWS! Catherine & William EMOTIONAL Turmoil For THE WORST Amid Cancer Update
Many members of the royal family, notably the Prince of Wales and the King, have experienced turmoil during the past few years.
In the two years since the late Queen Elizabeth II passed away in September 2022, both of them have witnessed a tremendous shift in their respective roles within the firm.
When the Prince of Wales takes over the throne from his father, King Charles, he will likely be styled as King William I. But there has been confusion as to how his wife, Catherine, will be known, with some reporting that she will be Queen Catherine I.
Royal expert Tina Brown wrote about the matter of succession, stating that Prince William is in frightening proximity to ascending the throne.
Is the prince prepared to become monarch in his 40s? King Charles and his wife, Princess Catherine, are both fighting cancer battles, bringing the issue of succession into sharp focus. It has been speculated that Charles did not ascend to the throne until he was in his 70s; therefore, William and Catherine are now anxious about the prospect of heading up the monarchy anytime soon.
When King Charles ascended to the throne, William was granted many of his old titles, including the Duke of Cornwall and the Prince of Wales. Catherine also picked up these titles as well and is known as the Princess of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall. When the royal mom of three is in Scotland, she is known as The Duchess of Roth.
Speaking to royal historian Marlin Kig, she confirmed that Catherine will simply be styled as Queen Consort and will be known as Queen Catherine when William becomes king. As she is not a regnant, the princess will not have a number after her name. Catherine’s title is due to change again if she outlives her husband. If William dies before his wife, then she will likely become known as the Queen Mother, provided that one of their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, or Prince Louis, succeeds their father to the throne. In the unlikely event a different royal ascends to the throne, then Catherine will be the Queen Dowager, otherwise known as the widow of a king.
Yesterday, the Princess of Wales was granted a prestigious honor from her father-in-law, King Charles, and there is a special meaning behind it. In a royal first, she was appointed Royal Companion of the Order of the Companions of Honor. The role recognizes her 13-year service as a working member of the royal family and her support and interest in the arts. The princess, who is away from official duties while undergoing preventative chemotherapy for an undisclosed type of cancer, has become the first royal to be a Royal Companion in the order’s 107-year history.
Buckingham Palace said the monarch recommended the special honor for his beloved daughter-in-law, with appointees to the Companions of Honor in the gift of the Cabinet Office. Katherine is patron of the National Portrait Gallery, the VNA, and the Royal Photographic Society. She is the first member of the royal family to be appointed. The king’s decision, who is also being treated for cancer, to suggest her for the honor will be seen as a major show of support for the princess amid the challenges she is facing.
The Order of the Companions of Honor, limited to just 65 people at a time, was founded by King George V in 1917 to recognize outstanding achievements in the arts, sciences, medicine, and public service. The princess will likely be donning the honor during future white tie events like state visits or diplomatic receptions. Current members of the order include Sir David Attenborough, Margaret Atwood, Dame Judy Dench, Sir Paul McCartney, and Sir Elton John, and previously, Professor Stephen Hawking and Sir Winston Churchill. The insignia of the order is in the form of an oval medallion surmounted by a royal crown, with a rectangular panel depicting an oak tree, a shield with the Royal Arms of the United Kingdom hanging from one branch, and on the left, a mounted knight in armor. The motto of the order is “In action faithful, and in honor clear.”
