Kate Middleton, the cherished wife of future King Prince William, is poised to create history after acquiring increased power from King Charles III.
In a move that perfectly reflects Princess Catherine's rising prominence within the royal family, Kate is ready to defy decades of custom by bestowing royal warrants, the first time a Princess of Wales has done so in more than a century.
The move highlights the future Queen's growing influence in creating the monarchy's contemporary image. This coveted assignment, which was formerly a feature of King Charles III's late mother Queen Elizabeth II's reign, is another crucial milestone in Kate's career as a senior royal.
The last Princess of Wales to issue a royal warrant was Mary of Teck, who did so before her husband, George V, ascended the throne in 1910.
King Charles began issuing warrants as the Prince of Wales in 1980, but Princess Diana was not granted the duty after their wedding the following year.
What is Royal Warrant?
A royal warrant is a symbol of excellence given to businesses or persons who have consistently provided goods or services to the royal family. It lasts up to five years and can sometimes result in considerable development for patients.
Alexander McQueen is set to be the first to receive a royal warrant, followed by Strathberry handbags, Holland Cooper tweed garments, and Emmy London accessories.
On Wednesday, Prince William and Kate Middleton made their first public appearance outside of England since her cancer diagnosis, when they visited Pontypridd in south Wales ahead of St. David's Day celebrations on March 1.
