International media reports indicated that Britain’s King Charles III is expected to announce a surprise, in his first speech as king, which caused a great controversy among the public.
King Charles granted Prince William’s daughter-in-law, Kate Middleton, the title of Honorary Colonel of the Irish Guards, three months following she was granted the title of Princess of Wales.
Queen Elizabeth had also granted her grandson, Prince William, the same title in 2011, just two months before his and Kate’s wedding. He then donned a red Irish Guards officer’s uniform to celebrate in Westminster Abbey.
