Kate Middleton was seen deep in conversation at the Order of the Garter ceremony in Windsor in 2019 – and if Camilla hadn’t reminded her, she might have missed an important part of the ceremony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The royal calendar is frequently made up of events that occur nearly every year without fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
One of these is Garter Day at Windsor Castle, which takes place on Monday and features a procession of royals dressed in regal velvet robes and plumed hats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has been subject to Covid restrictions for the last two years, so the last time it was held was in 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it was a very special year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Duchesses of Cornwall and Cambridge attended the ceremony, as did Sophie Wessex, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, and Queen Letizia of Spain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And it appears that Kate became so engrossed in her conversation with Queen Maxima that they almost missed an important part of the procession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fortunately, Camilla was nearby to tap Maxima on the arm and remind the ladies to face forward as the parade passed by – and Sophie was also seen quickly taking her place in the lineup next to Letizia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Edward III established the Order of the Garter in 1348 to recognize contributions to public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Queen, several senior royals, and 24 other Knights or Ladies who are personally chosen by the monarch for recognition are members of the Order.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
