Knighthood is not just a household word, but is solely the responsibility of the so-called “Blood Royals”, who are currently rare.
New plans are on the table.
London – The appointments of King Charles (75) and Princess Kate (42) are currently canceled due to illness.
Although the King bravely drags himself to individual appointments despite cancer, he supports Prince William (41) in cutting back on his representative duties and taking care of his sick wife, whose exact condition is currently unknown.
But honorable people still exist, only: Who knights them?
Only native members of the royal family such as Prince William are allowed to award medals or knighthoods
This could turn into assembly line work for Prince William, because due to his royal gene pool he is the only Blood Royal who is allowed to carry out the prestigious investiture.
The heir to the throne even interrupted his accompanying break to pin the honor of “Member of the British Empire” (MBE) on his costume jacket, among others, “Game of Thrones” star Emilia Clarke (37).

soon coming to an end.
There are plans that would also allow Queen Camilla and the Princess of Wales to do the job.
The burden of royal duty would then be lifted from King Charles, Princess Anne (73) and Prince William, especially since most would like to be honored by a first-row royal.
Procedure for an investiture
On the day of investiture, a person is given an honor.
The award will be presented personally by a member of the Royal Family.
The regalia is accepted in front of the family members who have brought along at a royal residence, usually Buckingham Palace.
Examples of honor ceremonies that have so far only been performed by a Blood Royal include the presentation of MBEs, OBEs, knighthoods and awards for bravery.

“Queen Camilla has proven to be a truly hard-working and dutiful wife to the King and who wouldn't want to be presented with a medal by the Princess of Wales?
There is a feeling that they both deserve it, and that could be the case,” was speculation expressed to

Apparently the change would also be welcomed.
Around 30 investitures take place every year, at which more than 2,600 honorees receive their regalia from a member of the royal family at Buckingham Palace or Windsor Castle, as well as in Scotland and Northern Ireland.
Opinions differ on this at the moment and a decision has not yet been made.
However, the king's cancer diagnosis has forced him to give up some other traditional appointments to his wife, Anne or Prince William.
