Princess of Wales granted new royal privilege ahead of future role
King Charles has signaled a significant shift within the royal family by granting Princess Kate a prestigious new responsibility, further cementing her future role as Queen.
The Princess of Wales, who has steadily taken on more duties, has now been given the authority to grant Royal Warrants—a privilege historically reserved for monarchs and their direct heirs. This honor recognizes businesses that supply goods or services to the royal household, reinforcing Kate’s growing influence within the Firm.
Royal insiders revealed to InTouch Weekly that this decision is a “pretty big deal,” noting that the last Princess of Wales to receive such a privilege was Queen Mary, more than a century ago.
"It shows how much the royal family values Kate," the source added, emphasizing the King’s confidence in her abilities as she continues to champion her patronages and public initiatives.
This move comes after Kate’s remarkable recovery from a nine-month cancer battle, further signaling her strengthened position within the monarchy as she and Prince William prepare for their destined roles.
