The Prince of Wales, Great Master of the Honourable Order of the Bath, will visit Westminster Abbey for the Service of Installation of Knights Grand Cross of the Order.
The Most Honourable Order of the Bath was established as a military order by
Letters Patent of George I on 18th May 1725, when the Dean of Westminster was
made Dean of the Order in perpetuity and King Henry VII's Lady Chapel at
Westminster Abbey designated as the Chapel of the Order.
The Order is a revival of an older custom dating back to medieval times when part of
the ceremony of knighthood included a ritual bath symbolic of spiritual purification
and a vigil the night before receiving the honour.
Her Majesty The Queen is Sovereign of the Order and The Prince of Wales is the
current Great Master of the Order. His Royal Highness last attended the ceremony in
2014. |
