Prince Harry is reportedly in tears after learning that his older brother, Prince William, has been named Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a title that Harry previously held. This announcement, made by Buckingham Palace, has deeply affected Harry, according to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams.

The news comes as a blow to Harry, who allegedly sees William as one of the factors contributing to his struggles. Fitzwilliams stated, “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 resistance. During a recent event commemorating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, he proudly wore the KCVO Neck Order and Star, bestowed upon him by Queen Elizabeth II. Royal author Tom Quinn believes this gesture was Harry’s way of asserting his worth and reminding his family of his valuable contributions.

The timing of William’s new title has sparked speculation about the already strained relationship between Harry and their father, King Charles III. Although there was public interest, Harry’s recent visit to the U.K. did not include a meeting with his father, further fueling public scrutiny and criticism towards the King’s priorities.
