Buckingham Palace Latest Announcement Adds Fuel to Royal Rift Amid Prince Harry’s UK Visit

As Prince Harry’s visit to the UK continues to spark intrigue, Buckingham Palace has announced a joint engagement involving King Charles and his eldest son, Prince William, further fueling speculation about the ongoing rift between the royal family members.

The 75-year-old monarch is scheduled to undertake an event next week alongside Prince William, where Prince Charles will be officially appointed as the new Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.

This announcement follows closely on the heels of Harry’s statement ruling out a meeting with his father during his current trip to the UK, leading to speculation among royal insiders about the timing of the engagement.

The role of Colonel-in-Chief, previously held by Prince Harry due to his service in Afghanistan, will now be passed on to Prince William.

The Palace’s statement highlighted the history of the role, noting its previous tenure under King Charles as Prince of Wales for 31 years.

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams weighed in on the situation, describing the estrangement between King Charles and Prince Harry as “one of the most public rifts in the world.”
