Kate Middleton announced she was battling cancer last month.
Kate Middleton is receiving a new royal title even as she is taking some time away from her duties amid her ongoing cancer treatment.
On Tuesday, Buckingham Palace announced a series of new appointments for members of the royal family in an official press release.
The Princess of Wales has been given the title of Royal Companion of The Order of the Companions of Honour.
This title was created in 1917 by King George V for outstanding achievement in the arts, sciences, medicine, and public service.
Additionally, Kate’s husband, Prince William, the next in line to the throne, has been named the Great Master of the Most Honourable Order of the Bath. William’s father, King Charles III, previously held the position when he was Prince Charles.
The position was created by King George I in 1725 and dates back to possibly even earlier than that. According to the palace, it is awarded to members of the military or civil service for exemplary service.
