It looks like King Charles is showing his appreciation for his daughter-in-law in the best way that he can. Apart from becoming the new Princess of Wales – a title most Britons only know Princess Diana to have held – Kate Middleton also takes over the title of Colonel of the Irish Guards – a title once held by Prince William. Here’s what you need to know.
The title change comes as William becomes Colonel of the Welsh Guards, while Camilla accepts the duty of Colonel of the Grenadier Guards, an honor once held by Prince Andrew before he stepped down from official royal duties. The Princess of Wales also took over Prince Harry’s royal rugby patronages earlier this year, following the Duke of Sussex’s exit from the firm. The title changes come as plans for Charles’ first Trooping the Colour was announced – and amid the shaping of his vision for a more modern, slimmed-down monarchy.

The palace is currently navigating, however, the fallout of a fresh race row, while Harry and Meghan’s bombshell Netflix docuseries started streaming earlier this month. In it, the Duke of Duchess of Sussex take aim at the firm, suggesting at one point, their sudden decision to exit the firm, or rather, the announcement, came after Charles leaked their plans to the press.
In the Netflix documentary Harry and Meghan, the Duke of Sussex made it pretty clear that he wants to move on from his feud with the royal family. That, and he would like an apology from members of his family but knows that it will never happen. He said, “I’ve had to make peace with the fact that we’re probably never going to get genuine accountability or a genuine apology [from my family]. My wife and I, we’re moving on. We’re focused on what’s coming next.”
Needless to say, many critics have taken to social media to weigh in on the matter. Some have commented with, “It’s H&M who should be issuing an apology. They’ve acted like petty little children, lying at every opportunity. King Charles expressed his love for Harry and Meghan in his first speech as monarch, and he invited them to his coronation.”
