Prince Harry is reportedly “in tears” after finding out that his older brother received a new title from their father. Prince William was bestowed with a new military honor that used to belong to the Duke of Sussex.

In British royal family news, the Duke of Sussex has reacted to the news of Prince William becoming the Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The announcement of Prince William’s new title was initially made by Buckingham Palace. According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, Prince Harry is very upset, to say the least.

“King Charles’ announcement that Prince Harry is being stripped of his role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Corps is a real kick in the teeth for the son who always felt marginalised,” Richard noted while speaking on the matter.

He went on to expand that what adds further insult to injury for Prince Harry is the fact that the role is being passed over to someone whom he deems as the “cause of so many of his problems – his brother.” The Duke of Sussex is said “to have been in tears when he heard” the news.

Apparently, while the senior royals were aware of the emotional damage they would be causing Prince Harry, “they have decided the gloves are off.”

Continuing to speak on how the royal family feels about the situation, Richard added, “Harry needs to realize that when you betray the family, you don’t just escape the things you hated doing as a working royal. You also lose the things you loved.”

Adding more salt to the wound is the fact that Prince Harry loved being Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps as it was something “he was very proud” of. Richard asserted that the Duke is also heartbroken because when he was serving in the military, it was “a rare happy time in his life” as he was recognized for his achievements “as a man” and not as a royal family member.
