King Charles III has granted his daughter-in-law Catherine, Princess of Wales, the power to issue Royal Warrants.
Royal Warrants have been issued since the 15th Century to those who supply goods or services to a royal court or certain royal personages. The warrant enables the supplier to advertise the fact that they supply to the Royal Family, thereby lending prestige to the brand or supplier.
Usually Royal Warrants are granted by the monarch, the consort or the heir apparent.
However, the King, 76, has now given the Princess of Wales, 43, the power to do likewise, making her the first princess since the King's great-grandmother Princess Mary of Teck in 1910 to hold this privilege.
The granting of this power by the Head of State to his daughter-in-law and future Queen Consort shows how much he loves and respects her as the two recover from cancer and it could boost the British economy by billions of pounds each year.
The Princess of Wales is the wife of Prince William - the Heir to the Throne - and the mother of the next three in the Line of Succession after their father: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis...
