King Hands Prince of Wales COMMAND of Harrys' Old Regiment But Doesn't Mention The Duke of Sussex in His Valedictory Speech

King Charles III hands over military title to son Prince William -Charles has handed over a prestigious role with the Army Air Corps to his son Prince William.

MailOnline 14 MAY 2024

Charles today held his first joint engagement with Prince William since 2022 and gave him command of Prince Harry's former Army regiment just as the Sussexes landed in the UK from Nigeria.

His Majesty has made his eldest son and heir Colonel-in-Chief of The Army Air Corps - the combat aviation arm of the British Army - at a ceremony at the Army Aviation Centre in Hampshire this afternoon.

Father and son laughed as Charles handed William an Army Air Corps beret and belt as the Prince of Wales took on his younger brother's former unit - the 662 Squadron - on the day Harry left Nigeria after a three-day pseudo-royal tour with his wife Meghan.

The Duke of Sussex served with 662 Sqn as an Apache helicopter pilot in Afghanistan, and it was widely thought he would have taken the role until he made the decision to step back from royal life in 2020 and emigrate to the US.

But in a speech in front of an Apache helicopter today, Charles did not mention Harry, who flew the same aircraft in Afghanistan during two tours of duty. Instead he said William was a 'very good pilot indeed' - before sparking laughter by saying: 'So that's encouraging'.

The King said: 'I do hope you'll go from strength to strength with the Prince of Wales as your new Colonel-in-Chief. I can't tell you how proud it has made me to have been involved with you all this time'.

William then donned his new uniform and blue beret before being handed an Army Air Corp tartan wrap for the Princess of Wales, a scarf for himself and three wooden helicopters for George, Charlotte and Louis. He later left in an Apache.

The event was happening as the Sussexes landed at London Heathrow this afternoon on a British Airways flight from Abuja. The couple are expected to board a plane to Los Angeles so they can be reunited with Archie and Lilibet in Montecito late tonight or tomorrow.

Last week Harry spent three days in London to mark the ten-year anniversary of the Invictus Games - but was unable to meet with his father because of the King's packed diary.

It has reportedly led to briefing and counter-briefing on both sides about why their paths never crossed. One source close to the King redeployed the famous phrase coined by the REAL Queen about Harry and Meghan after Megxit, that 'recollections may vary', after a Sussex source told The Sunday Times

Prince William And Prince Harry at Raf Shawbury, Shrewsbury in 2009

'I was fully expecting them to meet. I know that's what he [Harry] wanted to happen'.
