Queen Bestows High Honor On Kate On Her 8th Wedding Anniv. To Williiam

[ Edited ]

According to the People magazine site:

 

 "Queen Elizabeth named her granddaughter-in-law as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order, the highest possible rank, on Monday – which happens to be Kate and Prince William‘s wedding anniversary. The Royal Victorian Order was created by Queen Victoria in 1896 to allow her to recognize people who helped her or represented her. The ruling monarch personally selects who is given the honor."

Victoria was the mother of Edward VII, who was the father of George V, who was the father of Edward VIII and George VI. George VI was the father of Elizabeth II.

 

One other thing, the rank is the highest IN THE ROYAL VICTORIAN ORDER and the equivalent of a knight and not the highest rank period.

I'm really glad the Queen recognizes how valuable Kate is to the monarchy.  She's never "taken a wrong step" as has been said and does a great job as spouse to William and future Queen.  It's nice to see the Queen appreciates her.  William could have done a lot worse.

Very nice picture. Thanks for sharing! One thing is very obvious to me: William and Catherine love each other. They may not hold hands or display publicly their love, but it's obvious in the way they look at each other.

Congratulations to Kate and she deserves this honor. So glad the Queen recognizes what Kate has done and the potential she has.  Kate is beautiful, always perfectly dressed, never pretentious or begging for attention with her fashions or behavior. Kate and William are a great couple and take their roles seriously, conducting themselves as royals should in all situations. They don’t need to hang on each other to prove anything to anyone or to themselves. You can tell that they love each other with the way they act and look when they are together. Their children are cute and well behaved and it seems like they are great parents. We appreciate their sharing their births with us and also the great photos on the children’s birthdays. Kate represents the Monarchy well. Happy Anniversary to Kate and William!
