Prince Harry was reportedly left in tears upon learning that his older brother, Prince William, has been named Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a title that Harry previously held. This announcement, made by Buckingham Palace, deeply affected Harry according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.
The news comes as a blow to Harry, who allegedly sees William as one of the factors contributing to his struggles. Fitzwilliams stated, “Harry needs to realize that when you betray the family, you don’t just escape the things you hated doing as a working royal. You also lose the things you loved.”
However, despite this setback, Prince Harry has shown resilience in the face of adversity. At a recent event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, he proudly wore the KCVO Neck Order and Star, bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II. This gesture was seen by royal author Tom Quinn as Harry’s way of asserting his worth and reminding his family of his valuable contributions.
The timing of William’s new title has sparked speculation about the already strained relationship between Harry and their father, King Charles III. Harry’s recent visit to the U.K. did not include a meeting with his father, which has fueled public scrutiny and criticism towards the King’s priorities.
Prince Harry’s emotions are understandable, as anyone would feel upset when a significant role or title is taken away. It is important to remember that family dynamics and responsibilities within the royal household can be complex.
