The Duchess of Gloucester is awarded major promotion by The King after decades of quiet service ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/gloucester/the-duchess-of-gloucester-is-awarded-major-promotion-by-the-king-after-decades-of-quiet-service-192173/)
QuoteAfter more than 30 years service as Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of the Adjutant General?s Corps, the Duchess of Gloucester has been promoted to Colonel-in-Chief of the military unit.
Following King Charles III?s Accession to the throne, His Majesty is honouring members of his family with new military appointments.
This includes the Duchess of Gloucester, who had been Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of the Adjutant General?s Corps since 1992.
Her appointment as Colonel-in-Chief comes as her husband, the Duke of Gloucester, is appointed Air Commodore-in-Chief of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force.
The Duke has been Patron of the Royal Auxiliary Air Force Foundation since 2012.
He is following in his mother?s footsteps as, Princess Alice, Duchess of Gloucester, was Commandant of the Womens? Auxiliary Air Force from 1939 to 1944.
The new appointments have been made by The King as a clear sign that the close relationship between the Armed Forces and the Royal Family will continue in His Majesty?s reign.
I have always like this couple, they seem quiet, calm, dignified and loyal to HM and the monarchy. Good for her, we need more women in charge of things that men used to do.
Yes the Gloucesters are IMO one of the most overlooked members of the BRF but they seem to prefer to "fly under the radar." Neither Richard or Brigitta thought that they'd ever be performing royal duties when they married, but six weeks after their lives changed when Prince William of Gloucester was killed in a plane crash.
A brief history of the royal dukedom of Gloucester and its title holders. King Richard III is the most famous of the Dukes of Gloucester. When the current Duke's son inherits the title, it will cease to be a royal dukedom.
The royal dukedom once considered to carry a curse ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/the-royal-dukedom-once-considered-to-carry-a-curse-193603/)
QuoteIt?s a title with a potent history, held by some of the best known names in English royal history. Over 700 years since it was first created, it remains a familiar royal dukedom.
There have been six Dukes of Gloucester throughout history, the first created in 1385 and the current having held the title since 1974. It has a long past, and some consider the title cursed due to its most famous titleholder, and that the first three men to hold it died without heirs.
If dying without heirs, or at least male heirs, was the curse of the Gloucester royal dukedom then the York dukedom is the holder of the Grand Trophy.
