London:
Britain's King Charles III has appointed his first female equerry, who will act as the monarch's eyes and ears during most of his overseas visits and tours.
Captain Kat Anderson, 33, is an officer in the Royal Artillery and has previously worked for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
She will become the king's new aide-de-camp and help oversee the monarchy's diary of official engagements, while accompanying members of the royal family on public duties and world tours.
Captain Anderson will join the King on official engagements and assist his guests during meetings with dignitaries. She will also help him with military matters.
Often described as the royal 'eyes and ears', equerryes are considered extremely important figures in the running of the monarchy.
