Prince William has received a significant military honour from the King as he assumes the role of Colonel-in-Chief of Prince Harry’s former regiment, reported Mirror.
Following the recent announcement that Harry wouldn’t be meeting with his father during a brief visit to the UK last week, King Charles officially transferred the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to his eldest son, but his words can be misinterpreted by Harry who is already hurt with this move.The formal handover ceremony occurred today at the Army Aviation Centre at Middle Wallop, evoking a sense of melancholy in the monarch.
Speaking inside the Army Flying Museum at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, Charles joked that the regiment will be left in safe hands. “What a great joy it is to be here on this occasion,” the 75-year-old told veterans, families and staff.
“But also it is tinged with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all and admiring your many activities and your achievements.” The King also unveiled a plaque commemorating the arrival of the first Apache AH Mk.1 to be installed in a UK museum.
