Prince Harry is reportedly very upset after hearing that his older brother, Prince William, has been named Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a title Harry used to hold. Buckingham Palace made the announcement, and according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, it has deeply affected Harry.
This news is especially hard for Harry, who allegedly feels William is part of the reason for his struggles. Fitzwilliams said, “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.”
Despite this setback, Prince Harry has shown some resistance. At a recent event for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, he proudly wore the KCVO Neck Order and Star, which was given to him by Queen Elizabeth II. Royal author Tom Quinn thinks this was Harry’s way of showing his worth and reminding his family of his contributions.
The timing of William’s new title has caused more speculation about the strained relationship between Harry and their father, King Charles III. Despite public interest, Harry did not meet with his father during his recent visit to the U.K., which has led to more scrutiny and criticism of the King’s priorities.
Harry’s feelings are understandable, as anyone would be upset if a significant role or title was taken away. It’s important to remember that family dynamics and responsibilities within the royal household can be very complex.
