King Charles is knighting the Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby for his position within the Coronation earlier this 12 months.
The Most Reverend Welby, 67, might be admitted to the Royal Victorian Order and made a Knight Commander of the Order (GCVO) for his companies to the Royal Household.
That is solely the second time in historical past {that a} present chief of the Church of England has held the title of Knight Commander. The final time the Archbishop of Canterbury obtained the honour was Geoffrey Fisher after he topped the late Queen Elizabeth II in 1953.
Justin Welby is amongst a wave of people that have been given honours for his or her roles and efforts in 2023. The Dean of Westminster Abbey, David Michael Hoyle, is about to change into an LVO, a lieutenant of the Royal Victorian Order.
