Princess of Wales Snubbed by King Charles in New Announcement – Impact on Kate
Kate has suffered a blow as King Charles “snubbed” the Princess of Wales in a new announcement, it has been claimed. The King, 75, has made two major appointments ahead of Garter Day on Monday. Lady Manningham-Buller has been appointed as Chancellor of the Order of the Garter, making her the first female Chancellor of Britain’s oldest and most senior order of chivalry. Additionally, Lord Ashton of Hyde has been appointed as the Master of the Horse, a ceremonial role in charge of the Royal Mews on state occasions.
The Princess of Wales, who is currently undergoing cancer treatment, has been overlooked once again for membership in the Order of the Garter, despite increasing calls for her inclusion. The Order of the Garter, Britain’s oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry, is set to be celebrated with a procession and service at Windsor Castle on Monday, June 17.
Last year, Kate made a stunning appearance at the Order of the Garter service, wearing a polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich and Princess Diana’s earrings. Her attire was a tribute to her late mother-in-law, who received the Collingwood Pearl earrings as a wedding present in 1981. Kate’s fashion choices have always been closely watched, and her elegant style has garnered admiration from royal fans around the world.
The Office of Master of the Horse, a role dating back centuries, was originally responsible for the Sovereign’s horses, carriages, and travel arrangements. While the role is now largely ceremonial, the Master of the Horse remains the titular head of the Royal Mews. The Chancellor, on the other hand, is one of the highest-ranking titles in the Order and has a long history of prestigious holders.
Both appointments made by King Charles are effective from Tuesday, June 18, leaving many questioning the King’s decision to overlook the Princess of Wales once again. As the royal family prepares for the upcoming events, including Trooping the Colour, the absence of the Princess of Wales from the Order of the Garter continues to be a point of contention among royal watchers.
Despite the snub, Princess Kate remains a prominent figure in the royal family and continues to fulfill her duties with grace and style. As the King’s latest announcement causes ripples in the royal circle, all eyes will be on the upcoming Order of the Garter service to see how the royal family navigates this latest controversy.
