Though the couple used to avoid public displays of affection in the early days of their marriage, they have become much more comfortable with them over the last few years, with William often holding his wife\u2019s hand or putting his arm around their back. When they celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary <a data-offer-url=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrnSoWVNaAn\/\" class=\"external-link\" data-event-click=\"{&quot;element&quot;:&quot;ExternalLink&quot;,&quot;outgoingURL&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrnSoWVNaAn\/&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CrnSoWVNaAn\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">last month<\/a>, they shared a photo that featured them hugging while sitting on bikes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">On Wednesday, William hosted an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, where he awarded a few athletes he has long admired. <strong>Beth Mead<\/strong> and <strong>Lucy Bronze,<\/strong> two members of the English national women&#8217;s soccer team that won at last year\u2019s Euro Cup, were awarded with MBEs, the first rung on the British honors system that builds up to knighthood. William also made former employee <strong>Jason Knauf<\/strong> a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mirror.co.uk\/news\/royals\/prince-william-presents-top-honour-29945334\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">lieutenant in the Royal Victorian Order<\/a>, which is awarded for services to the sovereign. Knauf, a former head of William and Kate\u2019s Royal Foundation, also served as a communications secretary at Kensington Palace. (During his time in that role, he accused <strong>Meghan Markle<\/strong> of bullying, in an email that later set off a palace investigation.) Kate didn\u2019t make any more public appearances, but she did host private meetings for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/2023\/02\/kate-middleton-path-as-the-princess-of-wales-charity-early-childhood\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paywall\">Sophie and Edward also kept busy throughout the rest of the week, attending charity events and government meetings. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-12076911\/Duchess-Edinburgh-watches-Lady-Louise-Royal-Windsor-Horse-Show.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">On Friday<\/a>, Sophie watched her daughter <strong>Lady Louise Windsor<\/strong> compete in a carriage driving competition at the Royal Windsor Horse Show.\u00a0<\/p>\n<hr class=\"paywall\"\/>\n<p><em>Listen to<\/em> Vanity Fair\u2019s DYNASTY <em>podcast now.<\/em><\/p>\n<figure data-testid=\"IframeEmbed\" class=\"IframeEmbedWrapper-sc-dRedg hZcniq iframe-embed\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><script async defer src=\"https:\/\/platform.instagram.com\/en_US\/embeds.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/2023\/05\/the-royal-family-gets-back-to-work-after-a-busy-coronation-weekend\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After the coronation, King Charles III and Queen Camilla headed to the Sandringham Estate for a bit of relaxation, after the king made a stop to break ground on a new Cambridge aviation laboratory on Tuesday.
