According to ITV, Anne has been involved with over "300 charities, organisations, and military regiments", which Camilla is awarding her the honour for.
Professor George Boyne, our principal and vice-chancellor, said honorary degrees are awarded to "people who have made exceptional contributions to the service of others".
