According to Rebecca English, there's considerable talk in royal circles that King Charles may appoint Catherine as a Royal Lady of the Order of the G, the oldest and most senior order of chivalry in Britain, established by Edward III almost 700 years ago. This prestigious honor, personally chosen by the monarch for service to the crown or national life, would solidify her seniority alongside Queen Camilla, Princess Alexandra, and the Royal Knights.
The annual Garter Day procession, where the king and his Knights and Ladies parade from Windsor Castle to St George's Chapel, is a significant event. Many believe that after over a decade of remarkable royal service, Catherine deserves a place among them. There's also speculation that she, along with her husband, might be granted the power to issue her own Royal warrants for the first time.
Pressure is mounting on the king to decide which family members should have the authority to issue these sought-after marks of honor. This tradition, dating back to the Middle Ages, allows senior Royals to permit companies that regularly provide them with goods or services to use their coat of arms. Having a royal warrant displayed on business premises, products, packaging, advertising, and vehicles brings substantial commercial prestige both domestically and internationally.
While the king is expected to issue some new Royal warrants himself, the prospect of the Princess of Wales issuing warrants is eagerly anticipated. Existing holders believe that having Catherine officially endorse their businesses would be invaluable, particularly in sectors like fashion and lifestyle.
Princess Catherine's birthday is on the 9th of January, and there is anticipation surrounding how Meghan might react. Meghan's evident jealousy towards Catherine's successes in life, coupled with her desire for privacy, seems to clash with her efforts to remain in the public eye. The dynamics between the two royals continue to unfold, with Meghan seemingly unable to escape the shadow of the Princess of Wales.
