King Charles is all set to reduce Prince Harry to ‘tears’ yet again
King Charles made a decision that deeply affected his younger son, Prince Harry, by appointing Prince William as the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, a role that held significant emotional weight for Harry, who served with the unit in Afghanistan.
This move reportedly brought Prince Harry to tears, highlighting the sensitive nature of royal duties and familial relationships. The announcement from Buckingham Palace came earlier this week, stating that “At the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, His 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.”
“In August 2023, following His Majesty’s 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.”
Royal expert Tom Quinn has claimed, “King Charles’ announcement … is a real kick in the teeth for the son who always felt marginalized and underrated. He is said to have been in tears when he heard.” “What makes it much worse is that the role is being given to the very man who Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems – his brother.”
This news coincided with Prince Harry’s presence in London for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, an event particularly close to his heart, as it involves supporting wounded, injured, and sick servicemen and women, told Marca.
The timing of the announcement, on the same day as this significant anniversary for Harry, compounded the emotional impact, leaving him visibly distressed. The role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, now being passed to Prince William, was particularly poignant for Harry given his active service history with the corps during his deployment to Afghanistan, making the transition a deeply personal issue.
Now, as King Charles prepares to meet Prince William for a special ceremony on Monday, May 13, to officially hand over the title, there is an anticipation that the event may be emotionally charged, especially for Prince Harry. Such moments underscore the complex interplay of personal and public lives for the Royal Family, where professional roles and familial ties are intricately connected.
This shift in military titles within the Royal Family not only affects the individuals involved but also resonates through the ranks of those who are familiar with Prince Harry’s dedication and service. It brings to light the delicate balance the Royal Family must maintain in their official capacities while managing personal relationships and histories within their roles.
