The queen bestowed this new duty on Kate, who will start next year.  She will give out the trophies to the winners!  It's a tough job, but someone has to do it!

Kate will be gracious. The Queen really must love her.

Another feather in Kate's cap!   The role of patron was previously held by the Queen herself, though the Queen's cousin, the Duke of York, has handed out trophies for the last forty years.  Like it or not, at age 80, he'll be retired after this year.

That Queen could make me patron of something.  I'm available.

I put the 'bug in her ear' to make me patron of Idris Elba.

Yowzer!  Hubba hubba!

I seriously doubt the Queen calls her Duchess Do Little. What rag printed that?

She is a mother first of a toddler and a baby, a wife, and involved in many charitable activities.

Sounds like sour grapes to me.

I have read that several times too.  Can't remember in which "rags."
