Prince Harry is allegedly “in tears” after learning that his older brother has gotten a new title from their father. Prince William was awarded a new military honor that formerly belonged to the Duke of Sussex.
In British royal family news, the Duke of Sussex has reacted to Prince William’s appointment as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. Buckingham Palace made the original announcement about Prince William’s new title. According to royal analyst Richard Fitzwilliams, Prince Harry is furious.
“King Charles’ announcement that Prince Harry is being stripped of his role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Corps is a real kick in the teeth for the son who always felt marginalized,” Richard said as he discussed the subject.
He continued by stating that the appointment of Prince Harry’s brother, whom he perceives as the “cause of so many of his problems,” exacerbates his situation. The Duke of Sussex is claimed “to have been in tears when he heard” the news.
Apparently, the senior royals were aware of the mental harm they would inflict on Prince Harry, but they have decided to remove the gloves.
Continuing to discuss how the royal family thinks about the issue, Richard stated, “Harry has to understand that when you betray the family, you don’t just get out of doing things you disliked as a working royal. You also lose the things you cherished.
Adding salt to the wound, Prince Harry enjoyed being Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps because it was something “he was very proud” of.
Richard claimed that the Duke is also upset since his military service was “a rare happy time in his life” because he was acknowledged for his achievements “as a man” rather than as a member of the royal family.
Richard remarked that Prince Harry’s “last few ties to his old life are being cut, and he is being set adrift, permanently,” before the title handover on May 13, 2024, at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop.
However, the Duke of Sussex is apparently fighting back against being driven out, as seen by his appearance at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 9, 2024, wearing his KCVO Neck Order and Star, which he received from his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
He was visiting the cathedral to commemorate the 10-year anniversary of the Invictus Games. The Royal Victorian Order bestows the prestigious medal upon an individual to acknowledge their devotion to the monarchy.
Much like Richard has speculated on how Prince Harry reacted to his brother’s new title, royal author Tom Quinn has expressed his thoughts on why the prince opted to wear his medal of honor.
“Wearing this was Harry’s way of reminding his family that his grandmother valued his contribution […] wearing the medal is Harry’s way of saying, ‘You’ve taken everything else from me, but you can’t take this!’” stated Tom to a reporter.
Although Prince Harry was dealt a severe blow when he handed over the rank of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Corps to his brother during his visit to the United Kingdom, the move does not change the fact that his links to the Armed Forces are strong.
Prince Harry served in the Armed Forces for 10 years, including two tours in Afghanistan with the British Army, until retiring in 2015. Along with Prince Harry, other members of the royal family “have official relationships with many units of the Forces.”
According to the King and Queen of England’s official website, the royal family pays soldiers, airmen, and sailors who serve both at home and overseas “regular visits.” They’ve long acknowledged and supported “the work of the Armed Services.”
Referring back to Prince William’s new title, the timing of the announcement has sparked curiosity. The fact that Prince Harry and his father have had a rocky relationship recently has fueled public speculation.
“This is one of the most visible divisions in the globe.” If it was handled privately, without so much press speculation, it would have a better chance of being resolved,” Richard said, referring to Prince Harry and King Charles III.
Even when Prince Harry returns to the United Kingdom in May 2024, he will not meet with the King of England due to the significant schism between the father and son. The news drew passionate reactions from the people.
“In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not the Duke will meet with his father while in the U.K. this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full program,” according to a spokeswoman for Prince Harry.
The statement said, “The Duke, of course, is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.” According to a media site, King Charles III had a hectic schedule because he had recently resumed his public royal duties.
The public was shocked and outraged to learn that Prince Harry and King Charles III did not meet each other throughout this period, with many expressing displeasure in the King. “It is utterly inexcusable that a father cannot prioritize his children. “King or not.” admonished one social media user.
Similarly, someone said, “Harry deserves better. Shame on #KingCharles. He mistreated #PrincessDiana as well. #TheWholeWorldIsWatching.” “It’s shameful, but Prince Harry can sleep well at night.” “He has contacted me several times,” said another.
Someone else who felt deeply about the situation said, “Unfortunately, his father prioritizes his position over his family. His father has made it very apparent where his affection lies. If he truly wanted to visit his son, he would and could. This entire incident demonstrates that it is all about him and his ‘power over others.’”
After laboring behind the scenes throughout his cancer diagnosis and treatment, King Charles III had an audience at Buckingham Palace on May 7, 2024, when Fiji’s Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, was welcomed. The King’s attention was also drawn to the season’s first garden party, which was held on May 8, 2024, at Buckingham Palace.
Prince Harry, like his father, had a hectic schedule. His time in the UK was devoted to commemorating the Invictus Games’ anniversary, which began with a panel on May 7, 2024. Then, while visiting St. Paul’s Cathedral, Prince Harry delivered a reading.
The Duke of Sussex’s relationship with his brother, Prince William, is tense, just as it is with his father. During an appearance on “Good Morning America,” he spoke openly about their hostility.
When asked how their late mother, Princess Diana, would feel about their separation, Prince Harry stated, “I believe she would be unhappy. I believe she would be looking at it in the long run, understanding that there are certain steps we must take to mend the relationship. The king also stated that he feels his mother’s presence more strongly than ever before.
