King Charles III and Prince Harry’s feud might increase after the King’s latest decision to bestow a military title reserved for the Duke to Prince William. The British media outlets expressed this is a major “low blow” from the monarch to his son, who stepped down from his royal duties in 2020.
Buckingham Palace confirmed the Prince of Wales is set to become the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, despite the Duke of Sussex’s tenure with the unit in Afghanistan. If the Prince wouldn’t have stepped down from his royal duties along with Meghan Markle, he would be actively working as the colonel-in-chief.
The British newspaper, “The Independent” explained this is a low blow to Prince Harry because he is currently in the United Kingdom for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. This is Buckingham Palace’s statement highlighted that Prince William will be the next colonel-in-chief on May 13.
“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. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years.”
