The royals host investitures each month to officially invest everyone who received an honor in either the King/ or late Queen’s Birthday or New Year's honor lists. Investitures are usually held at Grand Reception Room at Windsor Castle, Throne Room at Buckingham Palace, or at the Palace of Holyrood.
This page includes, two lists:
- Regular Investitures
- Special Investitures related to Queen Elizabeth II's death.
Regular Investitures
This list just includes the regular group investitures. One-on-one investitures or investitures held overseas are not included. King Charles special group investitures related to Queen Elizabeth II's death are listed below, under the heading "Special Investitures."
Right now, there is no indication that a 4th royal will be added to the roster to perform investitures. But we had added an "other" column, just in case, as it would be difficult to add it later.
