Britain’s King Charles III has appointed Captain Kat Anderson as his first female equerry, who will serve as the monarch’s eyes and ears on many of his overseas visits and tours.
Captain Anderson, 33, is an officer with the Royal Artillery who had previously worked for the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Rishi Sunak.
She will be the King’s new assistant equerry and will support the King in managing official engagements, accompany royal family members on public duties, and join them on global tours.
Captain Anderson’s responsibilities will include accompanying the King on official engagements, and assisting his guests during meetings with dignitaries. She will also provide support on military matters.
Equerries, often referred to as the Royal ‘eyes and ears’, play a crucial role in the administration of the monarchy.
