Okay, royal followers, heads up! King Charles lll made a stellar public outing yesterday (Monday, May 13th) alongside Prince William, giving a new military title to the future King of the United Kingdom. This rare moment came as King Charles is stepping back into the royal spotlight amid his cancer battle.
It all went down at the Army Aviation Center in Hampshire, UK, where the monarch awarded the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to the Prince of Wales. The ceremony was all about military diplomacy, highlighting the importance of this appointment for both the King and Prince William.

Fun fact: this title, which had been previously worn by King Charles for 32 years, has now been passed down to his son for a fresh re-start. The best part? Prince William is no stranger to this honor, as he once was a member of the Army Air Corps himself.
After officially awarding the Prince of Wales, King Charles left the ceremony with his song undertaking his first duty as the new Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.
