In a heartfelt appeal, a former royal butler has called for King Charles to honor Princess Kate by appointing her as an officer of the prestigious Order of the Garter.
This comes at a time when the royal family is bracing for an action-packed week, with significant events lined up, including the much-anticipated Trooping the Colour ceremony.
Scheduled for Saturday, June 15, this year’s Trooping the Colour will mark King Charles’s second celebration of this grand tradition.
Following this event, the senior royals will engage in a series of royal duties over the next week, culminating in the Order of the Garter ceremony and the renowned Royal Ascot.
The Order of the Garter stands as the most distinguished order of chivalry in Britain, established by the monarchy itself.
It symbolizes honor and loyalty, making it a fitting accolade for those who have made significant contributions to the nation.
Amidst these royal engagements, Paul Burrell, the former royal butler, voiced his thoughts on the current situation.
Burrell pointed out that King Charles has a tendency to reward those close to him, suggesting a hint of nepotism within the royal family.
He believes that while it’s natural for the king to show appreciation to his inner circle, there are many unsung heroes across the country whose efforts deserve similar recognition.
Expressing his desire for Princess Kate to be recognized, Burrell stated, “I wanted the king to invest Princess Kate into the Order of the Garter, but he hasn’t done it.” His hope is that the king will eventually bestow this honor upon her, emphasizing that she truly deserves the acknowledgment that comes with such a title.
He elaborated on Kate’s significance, noting that she is not only the Princess of Wales but also a future queen.
“It’s time for her to join the Garter as a lady,” he asserted, underlining the importance of her role within the royal family.
Burrell added that this recognition would bring deserved attention to her contributions.
According to Burrell, King Charles’s approach to bestowing titles stems from a desire to be loved and appreciated.
