Amidst recent developments surrounding Prince Harry’s actions, the Palace has made a significant announcement regarding Prince William, a move perceived as a direct response to Harry’s conduct. This decision, which many believed would be reserved for Harry, is seen as a blow to the Duke of Sussex, who has faced scrutiny for his public remarks concerning the Royal Family. Described by a royal expert as a “harsh blow,” the announcement comes as Prince Harry’s hopes for a family reunion during his return to the UK for the Invictus Games are dashed.
Prince Harry, who stepped back from his royal duties in 2018 to pursue a new life in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, Archie and Lilibet, reportedly reacted with distress to the news. The timing of the Palace’s decision, particularly in light of King Charles conferring the newly established military honor upon Prince William, deeply affected Harry, leaving him feeling marginalized and undervalued.
Despite Harry’s return to the UK for the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, hopes of reconciling with his estranged family, notably his ailing father Charles, were dashed when the King was reportedly unavailable to meet with him. Subsequently, the Palace’s confirmation of William’s appointment as Colonel-in-Chief of the Air Force Corps, a title many expected would be bestowed upon Harry given his distinguished service, further compounded Harry’s disappointment.
In an exclusive interview with the Mirror, royal expert Tom Quinn underscores the emotional impact of the timing of William’s honor on Harry, particularly in light of his expressed desire to reconnect with his father. Despite Harry’s emotional response to the news, the Palace’s decision reflects a firm stance on the consequences of betraying the family, indicating that such actions result in forfeiting both undesirable and cherished responsibilities associated with royal duties.
