THE Duke of Cambridge has been made a personal aide-de-camp to the Queen, it has been announced.
William's honorary appointment was detailed in the Court Circular and the duke wore the insignia for the first time at the St Patrick's Day parade for the 1st Battalion Irish Guards at Mons Barracks in Aldershot, Hampshire.
The position has few duties but will be seen as symbolic of William's growing role within the royal family.
It comes after a week in which the monarch, who has been suffering from the symptoms of gastroenteritis, cancelled most of her public engagements.
The Court Circular stated the Queen "has been pleased to appoint The Duke of Cambridge as a Personal Aide-de-Camp to Her Majesty" with effect from Sunday.
Queen Victoria was the first to institute the appointment of a small group of personal aides-de-camp (ADC) positions, with one of the earliest holders being Prince Louis of Battenberg.
William's father Prince Charles is also a personal aide-de-camp to the monarch.
The Duke of Edinburgh was made personal aide-de-camp by the Queen's father, King George VI.
Principal ADC is an office held by some high-ranking officers in the Armed Services and includes carrying out duties such as attendance on the Queen at the state opening of parliament or representing the Queen at memorial services.
Other ADCs, rarely asked to perform any duties, are also chosen from the Armed Services.
Last year, second in line to the throne William was given the highest honour in Scotland after being installed as a Royal Knight of the Order of the Thistle at a service in Edinburgh.
He is also a Knight of the Garter.
