This comes just two days after the Trooping the Colour ceremony where Catherine the Princess of Wales made he first public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer.

The Order of the Garter is one of the most recognisable annual royal traditions, thanks in part to the unique uniforms which the likes of King Charles, Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales wear. As the Order of the Garter is the oldest order of chivalry in the United Kingdom and the most senior knighthood in the British honours system which is only outranked by the Victoria Cross and the George Cross, it is a significant honour to be invested.
