Prince Harry is reportedly deeply upset after learning that his older brother, Prince William, has been appointed as the new Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, this news came as a significant blow to Harry, who felt marginalized within the royal family. The transfer of this title to William, whom Harry perceives as a source of many of his problems, has left him in tears.

The timing of this decision, just days before the title handover ceremony on May 13, has exacerbated Harry’s emotional turmoil. He cherished his role as Colonel-in-Chief, considering it a rare happy time in his life, where he was recognized for his achievements outside of his royal status. Losing this position has left him feeling adrift and disconnected from his past life.

Despite his distress, Harry is reportedly fighting back against being pushed out of the royal fold. He was recently seen wearing his KCVO Neck Order and Star, a prestigious honor bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II. This symbolic gesture is interpreted as Harry’s defiance against the stripping away of his titles and honors.

The rift between Harry and his father, King Charles III, has further complicated matters. Their strained relationship has prevented a meeting during Harry’s recent visit to the UK, sparking public outrage and disappointment. While Harry navigates these turbulent waters, he continues to hold onto his deep connection to the Armed Forces, where he served for ten years before stepping back from royal duties in 2015.
