King Charles’s recent decisions regarding Prince Harry’s visit to Britain for the Invictus Games event have sent shockwaves through the royal family and beyond, prompting accusations of pettiness and favoritism.
One of the monarch’s surprising moves includes his choice not to meet with Prince Harry during his time in the country.
This decision, coupled with the announcement of Prince William being officially handed the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, a position once held by Harry, has raised eyebrows and stirred debate among royal experts and observers.
Royal commentator Jack Royston minced no words in his critique of King Charles’s actions, expressing concern over the potential damage to the monarchy’s reputation.
Royston emphasized the symbolism behind the timing of the decisions, particularly the announcement of William’s accolade on the same day as the news of Harry and Charles’s non-meeting.
Royston highlighted Harry’s distinguished service in the Army Air Corps, including his frontline combat experience in Afghanistan, and questioned the rationale behind transferring the role to William.

The controversy surrounding King Charles’s actions underscores the fragility of royal relations and the challenges facing the monarchy in navigating internal rifts while maintaining public confidence and support.
