The news that Prince William has been named Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a title that was previously held by Prince Harry, deeply affected him. According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, Harry was reportedly left in tears upon learning about this announcement. This setback comes at a time when Harry is already facing struggles, with some attributing them to his relationship with William.
Fitzwilliams emphasized that Harry needs to come to terms with the consequences of betraying the family. It is not just about escaping the responsibilities he disliked as a working royal, but also losing the things he cherished. This realization has undoubtedly taken an emotional toll on him.
However, Prince Harry has shown remarkable 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, honors bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II. Royal author Tom Quinn interpreted this gesture as Harry’s way of asserting his worth and reminding his family of his significant contributions.
The timing of William’s new title has also triggered 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, leading to increased public scrutiny and criticism towards the King’s priorities.
It is understandable that Prince Harry would be upset when a significant role or title is taken away. Family dynamics and responsibilities within the royal household can be complex, and emotions can run high. Harry’s reaction serves as a reminder that even members of the royal family are not immune to these feelings.
