Prince William Receives New Title from King Charles as Prince Harry Arrives in the UK

This week has proved to be an eventful time for the British royal family. Yesterday, a media outlet reported that King Charles III is set to confer the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to his eldest son, Prince William. The announcement was made via Buckingham Palace.

According to reports, the official date for the role transfer is set for May 13 and will take place at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop.

"In August 2023, following His Majesty's Accession, the King was pleased to announce military appointments including that the Prince of Wales would become Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years," discloses the Palace's message.

News of the King bestowing the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to Prince William comes amid Prince Harry's recent trip to the U.K., which has raised eyebrows in public spheres.

Creating further intrigue is the fact that though Prince William is stepping into the role for the first time, the role itself is not new as it used to belong to his younger brother.

The Duke of Sussex's affiliation with the Armed Forces runs deep. Aside from previously holding the title, Prince Harry worked in the Armed Forces for ten years, serving two Afghanistan duty tours with the British Army before ending his operational duties in 2015. In addition to Prince Harry, other members of the royal family "have official relationships with many units of the Forces."

Prince William & Princess Catherine 'Are Going Through Hell' Now, Their Designer Reveals, Sparking Public Discussion

When Amaia Arrieta, a clothing designer close to the royals, saw the Mother's Day photograph of the Princess of Wales earlier this year, she was excited to see Princess Charlotte in a checked skirt from her childrenswear label, Amaia London.

This was one of the many times that the Wales children were seen wearing her designs. The tradition of the children wearing Amaia London began when Prince George was just a baby.

The image, meant to capture a moment of familial joy, soon became the subject of public speculation. However, for Arrieta, it remains a testament to the bond between her and the royal family.

Amidst recent tumultuous times, her concern for the family's wellbeing has grown. "I'm heartbroken at the moment, I think they are going through hell, I hope they will be back. It’s really personal," Arrieta reveals. Her words came after Princess Catherine and King Charles revealed they were both undergoing cancer treatment.

The absence of Princess Catherine from the public eye has not gone unnoticed. Her low-key persona has sparked widespread concern and speculation among the public and media.

Social media platforms have become a hotbed of commentary, where worried fans and critics alike share their thoughts and prayers.

One deeply concerned observer commented, "Her cancer worries me. Many cancers in the abdominal area are very serious. I pray for strength and healing! She is a great mummy." Another comment reads, "This is just Heartbreaking 💔 Prayers for all of them 🙏."

The sentiment is echoed by another user who remarked, "No one has seen her for over 140 days… something up folks.. I personally want a wellness check. I don’t trust these 'Royals'. You can virtual signalling all you want, but this woman might be in trouble.."

Further adding to the discourse, someone else stated, "Ms Kate has disappeared in plain sight and everybody thinks that's okay SMH." Meanwhile, another user expressed hope and support, saying, "So So Sad for Katherine..Prayers, she will get through all of this, and be well, and live a long life with family."

The collective concern is summarized by a comment stating, "They are a young couple with young children, plus living in the public eye. I can't even begin to imagine what they are going through. She is such a beauty inside and out and this is just so heartbreaking. 😞"

'Absolutely Unforgivable': Prince Harry Arrives in the UK, but Won't See His Dad, Sparking Discussion

The Duke of Sussex has touched down in his home country to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. Aside from the fact that Prince Harry is in the U.K. to commemorate the competition's inauguration for wounded and ailing veterans which happened 10 years ago, news outlets have also reported that he will not be visiting the King of England.

"In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the U.K. this week, it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty's full program," announced a spokesperson for Prince Harry.

The statement went on to explain, "The Duke of course is understanding of his father's diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon." According to a media outlet, King Charles III has a busy schedule because he recently returned to his public royal duties.

The public has reacted with shock and outrage to the news that Prince Harry and King Charles III will not see each other during this time, with many people expressing disappointment in the King. "That's absolutely unforgivable, that a Dad can't prioritize his son. King or not!!!" chastised a social media user.

Similarly, someone else expressed, "Harry deserves better. Shame on #KingCharles. He treated #PrincessDiana terrible as well. #TheWholeWorldIsWatching." "Shameful… but Prince Harry can sleep well at night. He has reached out numerous times," commented another.

Continuing to highlight the tumultuous nature of the late Princess Diana's relationship with King Charles III, another user noted, "Charles is who Diana said he was 🙃." Another King Charles III critic called him "petty."

A Facebooker wrote, "As a parent I can't imagine not being able to pencil my child into my schedule." "I can’t imagine anything more important than getting to spend some time with a child that you really don't see very often," added another.

Someone else who felt particularly strongly about the matter stated, "Sadly, his father chooses his position over his family. His father has made it very clear where his love is. If he really wanted to see his son he would and could. This whole situation clearly shows that it is all about him and his 'control over others.'"

As a new development in the King Charles III and Prince Harry relationship saga, a royal biographer has weighed in on the reason why the King has not met with his son this week.

Tom Bower has claimed that the monarch's decision has less to do with his busy schedule and is more so a result of denying the Sussexes an opportunity to garner positive PR.

According to Tom, "The King and his advisors have seen this for what it really is. It's all about boosting the brand which is suffering terribly." He then went on to say, "Harry was desperate for a photo opportunity for the King [...] The King has denied him of that, and rightly so."

The biographer explained that Prince Harry's alleged desperation to take a photo with his father is because he and Meghan Markle are set to head to Nigeria after his stay in the U.K. Aside from the fact that Meghan's mom's family is reportedly Nigerian, the couple are traveling there to play their "royal card," as Tom puts it.

"She is going to play the Duchess there and play the Royal Family," stated Tom. Speaking about Prince Harry's motives for the photo op with King Charles III, Tom explained that the Prince wanted a photo "so he could get to Nigeria and say 'I come here as a member of the Royal Family.'"

He then went on about his belief that Prince Harry and his wife are "exploiting the misery in London" and "putting William and Kate in a terrible light." "Rightly Buckingham Palace decided 'we're not going to play their game' on this occasion," Tom finished.

Public reactions to Tom's statements have largely been in agreeance with the royal biographer. "Completely agree. Nothing [Meghan] and Lapdog do is without a (not so hidden) agenda," commented a social media user.

Another added, "Brilliant Tom - saying the things that most if not [the] majority are thinking. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼." "LOL. These rejected suitors are hilarious. But it is also embarrassing.... From the pics I see H got his photo ops," said someone else.

Although many sided with Tom, some people felt differently. "King Charles showed the world why he's not fit to lead or to be the head of the church. Pettiness and unforgivableness are ugly traits," wrote an X user.

Referencing the assertion that King Charles III has been "toughening up" when it comes to dealing with his youngest son, another person expressed, "'Toughen up.' Not making any time for his son, only goes to show how petty he is!" A Prince Harry supporter gushed, "I've been away all day but it's just lovely to see Harrymania in the UK. Prince Harry is a rockstar ⭐🤩 We love you Harry! ❤️"

Keith Urban, Matt Damon & Their Wives Spark Heated Discussion with Their Matching Looks at 2024 Met Gala

This year's Met Gala was another fashion extravaganza for the books, with Hollywood's biggest stars all coming dressed to impress and dazzle. Among these celebrities were iconic actors Nicole Kidman and Matt Damon, who were joined by their spouses.

The Spring 2024 exhibit required esteemed attendees to dress according to the theme: "Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion." Kidman and her rockstar husband, Keith Urban interpreted the theme with black and white ensembles that complemented each other.

Kidman opted for a beautiful white gown that had black chiffon-like material making up the bottom half of the dress, creating a protruding ruffle effect. The back of the dress revealed a long white train that was connected to her fitted sleeveless bodice piece.

She paired her glamorous look with arm-length white gloves, and a silver diamond bracelet, and left her blonde locks loose. Urban, on the other hand, donned a chic black suit that had a black rose pinned on one side, a white dress shirt underneath, and a white bow tie. He completed his look with black dress shoes.

When it came to what people had to say about Urban and the "Australia" star's coordinating looks, they did not hold back. "Why are they always holding hands [...] like teenagers[?] Always looks staged….Ps: he always looks like the valet driver with the haircut! Maybe that’s what he is? By the way, the theme was 'garden,' [they] obviously didn't get the [memo]," criticized someone.

Another social media user wrote, "I wish Keith would wash his hair once in awhile! I mean Nicole looks awesome…maybe for her special night at least..?" Similarly, another noted, "This dude needs to do something with this stringy greasy hair."

"He needs a good barber," continued someone else, and in response, another user called Urban's appearance "such a dated look."

Kidman posted a picture of the duo intertwined with one another to her Instagram feed, which gave the illusion that Urban was wearing a dress. Referencing this picture, an Instagrammer pondered, "Is Mr. Kidman in a dress-tux situation or am I seeing an optical illusion??"

Similarly, another commented, "Please don't tell me Keith is wearing a dress." However, among the vitriol were some fans who praised the couple. "On my personal best dressed list," complimented a fan, while another gushed, "Most Beautiful Couple! 🔥😍👏."
