King Charles III has undertaken a rare joint engagement with his son and heir, Prince William, as he officially made him Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, which one royal expert described to The Daily Beast as “a bitter kick in the teeth for Prince Harry.”
Charles arrived by helicopter today for the special ceremony with William where he officially handed over to him command of the army’s airborne unit, of which Prince Harry is the most famous former member. Harry flew Apaches as part of the Air Corps on a tour of duty in Afghanistan.
Harry had been tipped to take over as patron of the regiment owing to his connection with it before he quit his job as a working member of the royal family in 2020.
