We're shortly expecting to see the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are attending the installation of the new Archbishop of Canterbury. 

The service marks the beginning of Dame Sarah Mullally's ministry as bishop and as the spiritual leader within the Anglican Communion. 

William and Kate will be representing the King, and joining in the procession. It's an important event for them to attend, as Dame Sarah is the woman who could one day crown them in the future. 

As King, William will serve as the Supreme Governor of the Church of England and hold the title Defender of the Faith. 

Dame Sarah is the first female Archbishop of Canterbury. 

The enthronement ceremony has officially begun!

It's rather wet and windy in Canterbury today, but that hasn't dampened William and Kate's spirits.

The Prince and Princess have now taken their seats, and joined in with the first hymn: Praise, my soul, the King of heaven. 

It comes after the Prince of Wales confirmed his "quiet faith" earlier this week, despite not attending church every week.

The Princess of Wales is wearing a dazzling new outfit from one of her favourite brands, Suzannah London. 

The design is cut from a luxurious cashmere wool, with a modern semi-fitted cut, outlined in chic black silk satin, which fell into an A-line midi skirt.

The ensemble costs £2,850, but Kate, 44, has put her own personal twist on the look.

The service is now wrapping up and the Prince and Princess of Wales are exiting the cathedral in a procession. 

There were a few sweet moments throughout the service, with the couple giving the Archbishop a round of applause in a significant show of support. 

The couple has just been seen personally congratulating Dame Sarah, who has looked emotional at points during the service. 

I'm now handing over to our evening writer Matthew, who will continue bringing you the updates.

King Charles held a series of special investitures at Windsor Castle on Wednesday. The monarch honoured exceptional individuals for acts of bravery. His Majesty presented The Distinguished Flying Cross, The Air Force Cross, The George Medal, The King’s Gallantry Medal, and The King's Commendation for Bravery.

One of those who received the honour was Joaquin Garcia Calatayud (pictured), who saved a woman from drowning in the River Thames on 24 April 2021.

Good morning, afternoon, and evening Best Quality Designer Handbag readers. I'm back on the blog this week, and love this feature,  Where is Fergie? The growing mystery of Sarah Ferguson's public absence.

"Sarah Ferguson could give Waldo a run for his money. Unlike the striped-shirt book character who hides in plain sight, the former Duchess of York has been flying under the radar, even before her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's arrest. So, where is Sarah?" writes Alexandra Hurtado.
