Buckingham Palace announces new protection for King Charles after Harry’s show

Buckingham Palace has announced a new patronage of King Charles III as Prince Harry made headlines in London by attending the Invictus Games service.

The 75-year-old monarch has accepted patronage of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews, according to the palace.

Patronage has been accepted by reigning monarchs since King William IV in 1834. The late Queen Elizabeth II was the club’s patron for 70 years.

The latest announcement comes as Harry made headlines for attending his momentous event in the UK.

The world-renowned club was founded in 1754 and has a worldwide membership of approximately 2,500. Its clubhouse is located behind the first tee of the famous Old Course.

King has recently returned to public appearances since announcing his diagnosis of an unspecified type of cancer in February.

According to Royal and Antiquities Secretary Martin Slumbers BBCSaid: “We are delighted and deeply honored to have been advised by Buckingham Palace that His Majesty the King has accepted the Patronage of the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews.

“We now look forward to Her Majesty’s support for the work of the Club and our commitment to the game of golf around the world.”

The 75-year-old also accepted the patronage of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Society, Orchestra and Choir on Tuesday.

The King’s latest honor shows that he has no intention of abdicating the throne to his eldest son Prince William as he is very excited and happy to continue his duty.

The king, who hosted the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season on Wednesday, looked dapper in a gray suit and light blue waistcoat in a new video shared by the royal family’s social media accounts.

Harry, who attended his Invictus Games event in London on Wednesday, had hoped to meet his father, King Charles, but the monarch was too busy to see him.
