QUEEN Elizabeth II has appointed the Duchess of Cornwall to the highest female rank in the Royal Victorian Order, Buckingham Palace said yesterday.
The announcement that Camilla, 64, has been made a Dame Grand Cross comes on the day of her seventh wedding anniversary with Prince Charles, the queen's son.
Awards under the order, which was founded in 1896 by Queen Victoria, are given by the queen to people who have served her or the monarchy in a personal way. They are bestowed independently of the prime minister's office.
Once vilified as a old flame who poisoned Charles' first marriage to Princess Diana, Camilla has become an integral member of the royal family since she married the prince on April 9, 2005 - eight years after Diana's death.
Since the couple's civil ceremony at the Guildhall in Windsor, the public has warmed to Camilla and she has carried out hundreds of royal engagements and taken on a wide range of patronages.
She also has traveled extensively with the prince on official visits.
