At 70, Marcus Setchell postponed retirement to accompany the birth of Kate Middleton in July. Now, Queen Elizabeth II will give him the second highest distinction of England.
The Queen of England announced today that the obstetrician and gynecologist who gave birth to Prince George, the third in line to the throne, will be honorary Knight (Knight Commander), the second highest award in the country.
Setcheel Marcus, 70, postponed retirement to be able to follow the birth of the son of Kate Middleton and Prince William, on July 22. During the summer, the doctor had at its disposal a police escort to be able to go as soon as possible to meet the Duchess of Cambridge at the hospital.
A total of 1195 persons will be distinguished by the Queen. This year, for the first time since the creation of the Order of the British Empire, more women (51%) than men among the honorees.
These distinctions are awarded twice a year: on 1 January and the day of the Queen’s official birthday, which is celebrated on the first, second or third Saturday in June
.
absences from tennis player Andy Murray and footballer David Beckham’s list of the distinguished personalities are causing some surprise in England.
