King Charles III has recently honored Prince William with the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps during a significant week for the British royal family. This announcement came as Prince Harry visits the UK for the Invictus Games’ 10th anniversary, amid ongoing public intrigue about the brothers’ dynamic and Harry’s strained relationship with their father.
The role of Colonel-in-Chief, previously held by both Charles and Harry, was officially transferred to William at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop. This title is significant as it underscores the royal family’s deep ties to the military, highlighted by Harry’s previous decade of service, including two tours in Afghanistan.
However, the familial reunion in the UK is marked by tension, as confirmed by royal sources stating that Harry and King Charles III will not meet due to the King’s full schedule. This absence of interaction has sparked disappointment and criticism from the public, emphasizing the ongoing rift within the royal family.
Meanwhile, Prince William’s new military title and his role within the royal hierarchy continue to reflect his prominent position in the royal family, contrasting with the complex dynamics surrounding his brother Harry’s more isolated stance.
