The British King Charles III. (74) has appointed his wife, King’s Consort Camilla (75), and daughter-in-law, Princess Kate (40), as Officers of Guards Regiments in his Household Divisions. London’s Buckingham Palace announced this on Thursday evening.
Camilla is therefore appointed “Colonel of the Grenadier Guards”. The position was last held by Charles’ younger brother, Prince Andrew, who lost all of his military ranks due to his involvement in the Jeffrey Epstein abuse scandal. Kate takes over the role of “Colonel of the Irish Guards” from her husband, heir to the throne Prince William, who will be “Colonel of the Welsh Guards” as Prince of Wales in the future.
The Household Divisions are traditionally involved in the British monarch’s official Trooping the Color birthday parade. It will be inaugurated on June 17, 2023 in honor of King Charles III. take place, as the palace had also announced. The celebration has been held for over 260 years, but due to the weather not on the monarch’s actual birthday, but in June. Next year, Charles will celebrate his 75th birthday on November 14.
