QuotePrince William was back to work at Buckingham Palace today just 24 hours after his brother quit as a frontline royal and prepared to move to Canada.
The Duke of Cambridge put on a brave face as he stepped in for the Queen at an investiture ceremony this afternoon after taking his three children to school and nursery this morning.
Despite the turmoil in his family and the rift with his younger brother, William grinned as he knighted Theresa May's Brexit negotiator Olly Robbins and former England cricket captain Andrew Strauss before sharing a joke as he gave gongs to rapper MIA, Scottish composer Anna Meredith and BBC golf expert Ken Brown.
Ahh, I think it's special and thoughtful that Prince William took time to learn a bit of sign language. In the video he is congratulating Mr. Duguid using SL.

The paparazzi took pictures of William doing the school run, the DM cropped the picture, a solo William, one can see the blond hair of George in the backseat. One would hope the paparazzi desist, but won't happen until the finalized Sussex deal.

Why on earth would william have to put on a "brave face." This is a ceremony honoring someone, the person being honored should be the focus not William's Brave Face.

The focus of the investiture should be on the honoree not William's face.
The media is reporting and praising William for doing the sign language.
Yes, but the focus should still be on the honoree. I would be annoyed if I was given an award and the media focused in on the person presenting the award.

@sandy-The passage Daily Mail article that I shared in my initial post named at least five of the honorees at the first investiture ceremony of 2020. The media is focusing on those who were recognized today at Buckingham Palace as well as the royal who bestowed the honors today, Prince William.
Also media gave coverage of Prince William and Mr. Alex Duguid's interaction today.

Windsor Castle is now Investiture Central as I understand that ongoing BP renovations have limited the access to the rooms where these ceremonies typically take place. I'd expect that most if not all of 2022's Investitures will take place there.

@KensingtonRoyal
came to tea to give me my Damehood! #surreal
@royalmarsden@CR_UK@bowelcanceruk@BowelbabeF
Deborah said: ?Prince William actually came to our family house today!! I am utterly honoured that he joined us for afternoon tea and champagne, where he not only spent a generous amount of time talking to my whole family but also honoured me with my Damehood. It?s quite surreal having a royal pop in at home, and yes you can imagine the cleaning antics and preparation went off the scale - but it was all irrelevant because William was so kind and he put us all at ease.? William visited after the Queen conferred the Damehood on
@bowelbabe
?He is clearly passionate about improving oncology outcomes as the President of the Royal Marsden. It was such a special day for my whole family, making memories to last a life time. He?s welcome back any time!?
(https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FSqrOTQXwAA667Q?format=jpg&name=small)
5mill pounds raised so far. Amazing.
I?m going to gush and say that at this moment William just made my cold frozen heart melt. This made me tear up just a bit.
I am so pleased to know that this honor was delivered to her in person by a member of the British Royal Family.
It was nice to see Wiliam visiting Deborah James. It shows he has a very human, personal touch.
It's very hard, especially because she's dying. Her silver lining is the fundraiser she created.
(I'd have a stiff drink, W went to Oswald's private club afterwards to meet with friends, the paparazzi said stayed 3 hours. The dishes/menu and the wines look michelin to me).

This is his second round of Investitures in less than a month. I wonder if these are all for 2023 winners or were some of them from 2022 and had to be rescheduled due to the late Queen's passing?

I?m sure that at least some of these Investitures are due to a logjam of sorts due to the Queen?s death. Some may have been due to earlier Covid scares as well.

This makes sense. I had almost forgotten about Covid in recent months.
I like seeing the Investitures being done, all the people getting acknowledged and meeting either Charles or Anne or Edward or William seem so happy and very joyful. One lady just could not take her eyes off William.....think that made her day.. :hearts:
