\nThe beginning of this month marked an important development for the British royal family.\n
Prince Harry landed in London to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, and during his stay in his home country, his brother, Prince William, received a significant new honour from King Charles. The timing seemed coincidental, but yet, many saw it as a major snub to Prince Harry.\n
The announcement from the Palace revealed that King Charles III has appointed Prince William as the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps.\n
\n
\u201cHis Majesty the King will officially hand over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,\u201d the palace\u2019s statement read. \u201cIn August 2023, following His Majesty\u2019s Accession, the King was pleased to announce military appointments including that the Prince of Wales would become Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years.\u201d\n
William\u2019s new role places him in charge of Harry\u2019s former unit. In 2008, Harry completed his Army Air Corps \u201cGrading\u201d and Pilot\u2019s Selection Board interview, subsequently training as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009.\n
\n
\u201cOn successful completion of that Army Pilots Course, Prince Harry was selected to train on the Apache Attack Helicopter,\u201d Harry\u2019s official biography before he was removed from the official royal family website read. \u201cOn the same day, it was announced that Prince Harry received his provisional wings from his father.\u201d Charles was colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps at the time, making the ceremony extra meaningful for Harry.\n
The unveiling of Prince William\u2019s new designation emerges during a period of increased public curiosity, partly influenced by the tense rapport between Prince Harry and his father. Speculation surrounding the nature of their exchanges, or the lack thereof, during Prince Harry\u2019s recent trip to the U.K. underscores the intricacies of royal relationships.\n
\n
During Harry\u2019s most recent visit, he and his father, King Charles, didn\u2019t meet due to the king\u2019s \u201cfull programme.\u201d
\nHowever, the statement by Prince Harry added that he \u201chopes to see him soon.\u201d\n
Despite the strained relationships with the members of the Firm, Harry expressed his happiness about returning to the UK. Regarding the party, he described it as \u201camazing\u201d and commended the work of Scotty\u2019s, emphasizing the incredible and necessary support they provide to children.\n
\u201cThe more opportunity you get to do these kinds of events, the more the families and kids know this place exists which is really the most important thing,\u201d Harry said, as reported by BBC.\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
