This year's ceremony also included two historic firsts in the nearly 700-year history of the order.
Charles, Camilla, Prince William , Prince Edward, Princess Anne, and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh all attended the event just two days after the Trooping the Colour parade festivities. Kate, who is still receiving chemotherapy treatment for an unspecified form of cancer , did not attend and is not expected to appear at the upcoming Royal Ascot, either, though she did communicate that she hopes “to join a few public engagements over the summer.
This year, legendary composer Andrew Lloyd Weber, whose work includes Cats, The Phantom of the Opera, Evita, and more, was installed as a Knight Companion in the order. Invitations to the order are at the monarch’s sole discretion. Lord Kakkar, emeritus professor of surgery at University College London, and Air Chief Marshal Lord Peach were also invested Monday as Knight Companions.
