Prince William has been handed a new royal title today from his father King Charles. The Prince of Wales, 42, and the monarch, 76, attended the Order of the Bath Service at Westminster Abbey together on Friday morning for the Order’s 300th anniversary year.
The prince has been given the title of the Great Master of the Order during the ceremony, which includes the oath taking and installation of five Knights. The King and The Prince of Wales also joined the procession of the Officers and Knights and Dame Grand Cross through the church before taking their seats in the Quire.
The father and son pair then later processed to the Henry VII, Lady Chapel for the Installation ceremonies.
The Service for the Order of the Bath takes place every four years, with the Sovereign traditionally attending every other service.
The King last attended a service in 2022 when he was the Prince of Wales. He also previously held the title of Great Master – which he has now passed on to Prince William – after being given this by Queen Elizabeth II in 1975.
The ceremony dates back to the medieval times.
Queen Camilla and Princess Kate were not present at the ceremony today.
