King Charles' bid to postpone historical milestone for Kate Middleton sparks talk

King Charles’ decision to postpone a major right for Kate Middleton has sparked a lot of conversation.

The conversation happened on the A Right Royal podcast and featured royal author and Robert Jobson and Hello! magazine's royal editor, Emily Nash.

“There's been a delay. There's always a bit of a delay,” was what Mr Jobson said in response to the postponing.

For those unversed it all relates to the monarch’s ability to grant royal warrants, and reports that it might be passed down to Kate Middleton as well.

Warrants handed by the Royal Family “permits a company to use the Royal Arms in connection with its business,” the official website says.

Furthermore, it denotes favor, and serves as recognition directly from the royals.

This led Mr Jobson to further say, “Remember that we haven't seen a transition in the Crown for some time, so we've had to deal with The King and The Queen first.”

So “that's taken some time because they have to go through all sorts of stringent tests and I think that it will happen in due course, but it's just that we're going through The King and Queen first, and you don't just get awarded a royal warrant, it's a lot involved.”

It was near the end that Ms Nash, chimed in and echoed the significance of something like this because “there hasn't been a Princess of Wales who's been able to issue warrants for about a century, really. So it will be quite a change just from that respect anyway, as and when it happens.”
