The Princess of Wales has been the latest recipient of such an honour as the RHS announced that they have named a new rose, which has been bred by Harkness Roses, after her. The stunning bloom will be known as 'Catherine’s Rose’, and features subtle coral-pink flowers which have a rich perfume with hints of Turkish Delight.

However, Harrold said he's noticed one area in which Prince William differs quite a bit from his grandmother. "The late Queen always used to say that she put monarchy over family," he said. "Admittedly she did occasionally put family first in ways that contradict this, but she did say it often. I think William is very different."

Kate Middleton and Prince William are shielding Princess Charlotte from the potential pitfalls of being the "spare" to her brother Prince George, heir to the throne.
