Kate joins other royals like Prince Philip in receiving the honor.
About three weeks ago, Queen Elizabeth II made Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order —the highest title of its kind.
Set up in 1896 by Queen Victoria, the Order is often invested upon royal family members, officials in the Royal Household and those who have set up state visits. All citizens of the Commonwealth are eligible for investiture and, according to an archived version of the Royal Family’s official website, the Order can also be conferred on foreign citizens—such as the Mayor of Nice, who received the Order in 1896.
