The British royal family has marked an important milestone this month. Prince Harry has arrived in London to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games, while his brother, Prince William, has been given a new title by King Charles.
According to a statement from the Palace, Prince William has been appointed colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps by King Charles III. This new role is significant, as William will now be in charge of the Army Air Corps, a position previously held by his father, King Charles.
The timing of this announcement has raised some eyebrows, as it coincides with Prince Harry’s visit to the UK. However, the Palace has stated that the decision was made following King Charles’ accession in August 2023.
Prince William’s new role is also notable because it involves leading the same squad that Prince Harry was once a part of. In 2008, Harry began training as an Army Air Corps “Grading” after completing the Pilot’s Selection Board interview.
The recent rift between Prince Harry and his father, King Charles, has added to the public’s interest in Prince William’s new title. Despite this, Prince Harry has expressed his excitement about returning to the UK and has praised the efforts of the Invictus Games.
During his visit, Prince Harry was unable to meet with his father due to King Charles’ “full programme.” However, Harry has stated that he hopes to see his father soon.
Prince Harry’s return to the UK has highlighted the complex nature of royal ties. Despite any tensions that may exist, the royal family continues to carry out their duties and support important causes.
