The Duke of Norfolk - who will mastermind King Charles’s coronation ceremony - was quietly issued 'quick' a knighthood just hours before the Queen's funeral.
King Charles III issued his first Knighthood a mere 10 days after inheriting the throne from his mother.
The 18th Duke of Norfolk, the most senior peer in Britain, was given the accolade by the new monarch despite the Knighthood being decided by Queen Elizabeth II while she was still alive.
