00:00 Kate Middleton is reportedly proving to be a daughter King Charles never had.
00:04 The Princess of Wales is enlisted in the Good Books of His Majesty and is adored by the King.
00:09 BBC Royal correspondent Jenny Bond reveals,
00:19 "There's little doubt that Charles would have loved a daughter.
00:22 He's really quite a softy at heart,
00:24 and it is said that he was disappointed when Harry turned out to be a boy."
00:27 Miss Bond then revealed late Princess Diana's wish to have a daughter.
00:38 "Certainly Diana, although delighted to have a healthy second son,
00:41 would have loved a daughter," she told OK.
00:43 "I spoke to her about it and asked whether she and Charles would try for a third child
00:55 and she said the marriage was in too much trouble to try again.
00:57 But she admitted that she would love a daughter.
01:07 And perhaps if she hadn't have died, that wish might have come true."
01:10 The expert added, "So, for King Charles it's a delight that he gets on so well with Catherine."
01:23 "He made efforts with Meghan too, but that has obviously not worked out," she continued.
01:35 "He has watched Catherine grow into her role,
01:37 find the causes she truly cares about and has supported her endeavors."
01:41 "I think Charles admires and appreciates the solid family network
01:51 that Catherine has created for William," Miss Bond concluded.
01:55 Kate Middleton and Prince William are expanding their royal roles yet again.
02:05 Nearly a year after they were dubbed the Princess and Prince of Wales by King Charles III following
02:11 the death of Queen Elizabeth II, the royal couple have been given additional titles after a
02:16 reshuffling of military appointments within the family, according to The Telegraph, citing
02:21 Buckingham Palace.
02:22 Kate has been appointed the Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Air Arm, Colonel-in-Chief of the
02:33 First Queen's Dragoon Guards and Royal Honorary Air Commodore of Royal Air Force Coningsby.
02:38 Meanwhile, William has been named Colonel-in-Chief, the Mercian Regiment,
02:50 Colonel-in-Chief, the Army Air Corps, and Royal Honorary Air Commodore,
02:55 RAF Valley, where he previously spent three years as a search and rescue pilot.
02:59 In becoming the new Royal Honorary Air Commodore for RAF Coningsby,
03:09 Kate lands her first senior role for the Royal Air Force, RAF.
03:13 However, the title also holds a special connection to her grandfather, Captain Peter Middleton,
03:21 who flew alongside Queen Elizabeth's late husband Prince Philip during a two-month aerial tour of
03:26 South America in 1962, according to The Telegraph.
03:30 Other royal family members who have returned to the country are the Queen's brother-in-law,
03:42 Prince Edward, Princess Anne, Prince Richard, Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh and Birgit,
03:48 the Duchess of Gloucester.
03:49 Some of the new appointments given once belonged to Prince Andrew,
03:59 who was stripped of his military affiliations in January 2022 amid a sexual abuse lawsuit against
04:05 him. Prince Andrew was also stripped of his military affiliations in January 2022 amid
04:09 a sexual abuse lawsuit against him. Andrew has denied the sexual assault allegations,
04:21 and the suit was settled out of court in February 2022.
04:25 Per The Telegraph, his prior role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Irish Regiment has
04:36 now been reallocated to Edward's wife Sophie, while Camilla inherited his honorary title of
04:41 Colonel of the Grenadier Guards and the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Lancers.
04:46 Following His Majesty's accession, the King is pleased to announce further military appointments
04:57 for working members of the royal family, the palace said in a statement, per People.
05:02 The new appointments will continue to reflect the close relationship
05:12 between the armed forces and the royal family in His Majesty's reign.
