A momentous week for the British royal family saw King Charles III bestow upon Prince William the position of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. As Prince Harry is in the UK celebrating the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, there is still a lot of curiosity in the public regarding the brothers’ relationship and Harry’s tense relationship with their father.

Previously occupied by Charles and Harry, William was formally appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop. The royal family has strong military links, as seen by Harry’s prior ten years of duty, which included two deployments in Afghanistan, which makes this title noteworthy.

But tensions surround the family reunion in the UK, as royal insiders affirm, claiming that Harry and King Charles III will not be able to meet because of the King’s hectic schedule. The public is disappointed and critical of this lack of engagement, which highlights the continuous division inside the royal family.

The intricate dynamics surrounding his brother Harry’s more solitary position contrast with Prince William’s new military title and his position within the royal hierarchy, which continue to reflect his important position in the royal family.
