Brotherly Love: Prince Harry Was Reportedly “In Tears” Over Prince William Because of………Read more
Prince Harry was reportedly left in tears after King Charles announced that he would be stripping the Duke of Sussex of his role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps and handing it to Prince William. A Royal expert claims Prince Harry was “in tears” when King Charles announced a new honour for Prince William.
The Duke of Sussex returned to the UK this week for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Shortly after arriving in London, it was revealed that King Charles was too busy to meet with his son, despite weeks of speculation that they could be meeting. Just hours after it was confirmed that King Charles would not be meeting with Prince Harry, Buckingham Palace announced that the King would hand the Prince of Wales a military honour long thought to be destined for the Duke of Sussex.
Prince William is now colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corp – the regiment Prince Harry served with in Afghanistan. Royal commentator Tom Quinn spoke to the Mirror, revealing: “King Charles’ announcement that Prince Harry is being stripped of his role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps is a real kick in the teeth for the son who always felt marginalised and underrated. “What makes it much worse is that the role is being given to the very man who Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems his brother. And the announcement was deliberately made during Harry’s brief visit to the UK to have maximum impact it shows Harry that he really is no longer welcome.”
Quinn disclosed that the Royal family “knew” the timing of the announcement would “really hurt” Harry, and shared that “he is said to have been in tears when he heard”. He continued: “But they have decided the gloves are off and that Harry needs to realise 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.”
