In a surprising turn of events, Prince Harry finds himself emotionally shaken as King Charles bestows a new honor upon Prince William, leaving the younger prince in tears, according to royal expert Tom Quinn.

The recent announcement from Buckingham Palace naming William as the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps came as a shock, especially given Harry’s personal service with the unit during his time in Afghanistan. Quinn, speaking to The Mirror, revealed the emotional impact on Harry, stating, “He is said to have been in tears when he heard.”

For Harry, the timing couldn’t have been worse. The announcement coincided with his return to London to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, a heartfelt moment tarnished by feelings of exclusion and marginalization.

Quinn speculates that the timing of the announcement was deliberate, aimed at sending a clear message to Harry that he is no longer welcome within the royal fold. “They have decided the gloves are off,” Quinn asserts, “and that 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.”

The decision to honor William over Harry not only underscores the growing rift between the brothers but also serves as a symbolic gesture of the changing dynamics within the royal family. Harry, once known for his close bond with William and Kate, now finds himself estranged from both his father and brother since stepping down as a senior royal in 2020.

Despite expectations of a reunion with his cancer-stricken father during his visit to the UK, Harry’s plans were thwarted, raising questions about the underlying reasons behind the snub. With Harry residing in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their children, the distance between him and the rest of the royal family seems to be widening.

As the dust settles on this latest royal drama, one can’t help but wonder about the deeper implications of King Charles’s decision. What message does it send, and how will it shape the future dynamics of the royal family?
