Investiture ceremonies are when recipients in the twice-yearly honours lists receive their awards from a member of the Royal Family.
Prince Charles, 72, Princess Anne, 70, and Prince William, 39, have all previously stood in for the Queen to hand out honours to members of the public.
The vital royal ceremonies were unable to take place in person during lockdown and are said to hold a special place in the Queen’s heart.
Touching on the importance of investiture ceremonies, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams previously told Express.co.uk: “The Queen has always attached great importance to these ceremonies, which are often a career highlight, and are also an unforgettable occasion for the individuals who are honoured as well as for their families and guests.”
