King Charles eyes major tradition break for Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton

King Charles could soon allow Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton to hand out honours in a bid to cope with lack of working royals.

During investitures held at Palace, only blood royals are allowed to hand out gongs, which is currently limited to the King, Prince William and Princess Anne.

However, a source told the Daily Mail: “Queen Camilla has proved herself to be a really hard-working and dutiful spouse to the King, and who wouldn't want to be handed a gong by the Princess of Wales?”

“There is a feeling that they have both earned it and it might prove a very popular change,” they claimed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle instigated an unintended crisis when they stepped down from their positions as working royals in 2020.

The King’s brother Prince Andrew was shortly stripped off his title due to his involvement with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The ordeal was followed by tragedies of demise of Prince Phillip and Queen Elizabeth, further narrowing down the pool of working royals of the family.

The current exhortation to break centuries-old tradition in favour of Charles and William’s respective partners come in the wake of the monarch’s cancer diagnosis.

Meanwhile, the Princess of Wales has also been out of action after undergoing abdominal surgery in January.
