Order of the Garter: Camilla and Kate attend in 2019
King Charles was urged to make the Princess of Wales a Lady of the Order of the Garter because she “deserves it” as the Royal Family prepare themselves for a very busy royal week.
Following that, there will be seven days of engagements for the most senior royals, complete with Royal Ascot and the Order of the Garter ceremony.
The Order of the Garter is the oldest and most senior Order of Chivalry in Britain that can be given by a monarch.
In light of this and next week’s engagements, former royal butler Paul Burrell touched down on why he believes the monarch rewards his “favourites” and the reason why there is “nepotism” in the Royal Family as the King “showers the people around him”.

Mr Burrell also called for the service to be “fair” with many “unsung heroes” in Britain who should be “elevated and celebrated” for their work.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, he said: “I wanted the King to invest [Princess] Kate into the Order of the Garter, but he hasn’t done it.
“I’m hoping that the King will invest Kate in the most noble order. I’m hoping he’s going to do that, if he does it will make headlines, she deserves it.
“She’s our future queen, she’s a Princess of Wales, it’s time for her to become a Lady member of the Garter.”
The former royal butler claimed Charles “showers” the people around him with royal titles and gifts as he wants to “be loved” and “reward them for their service to him and the country”.
