These members already held various military connections, and this update arrives just a month before King Charles' inaugural Accession Day.

Leading the way is the Princess of Wales, taking up the prestigious Commodore-in-Chief post for the Fleet Air Arm. She's also named Colonel-in-Chief of the 1st Queen's Dragoon Guards and Royal Honorary Air Commodore of Royal Air Force Coningsby.

Kate's new duties are extra special as her grandfather, Captain Peter Middleton, once flew with Prince Philip in a daring South American aerial tour back in 1962.

“Following His Majesty’s Accession, The King is pleased to announce further military appointments for working Members of the Royal Family,” PEOPLE magazine quoted the palace as saying in the announcement. “The new appointments will continue to reflect the close relationship between the Armed Forces and the Royal Family in His Majesty’s reign.”
