After five months, King Charles III of the United Kingdom and Prince William, Prince of Wales, are in the same frame for the first time.
On May 13, local time, Charles III officially handed over the post of Colonel of Army J Aviation to Prince William at a special ceremony held at the Land J Aviation Centre in Vallop, central Hampshire.
Before the handover, Lao Cha said proudly: "I sincerely hope that in the future, under the leadership of the Prince of Wales, you will become stronger and stronger." The most important thing is that he is really a good pilot, so this is a very encouraging thing. ”
It is reported that this very important position has been held by Charles for 31 years. Before Harry stepped out of the royal family, the position was believed to be passed to Harry, including Harry himself. The youngest son of the King of England has a deep connection to this position, and the Army J Air Force is the unit he previously served in Y.
The timing of Charles' announcement of this appointment was very delicate. On May 7, two hours after Prince Harry, who returned to the UK for the event, confirmed through his spokesperson that "his father was too busy to meet with him", Charles issued a new appointment announcement through Buckingham Palace.
It is reported that when Harry withdrew from the royal family, what made him most difficult to let go of was not his "beloved queen grandmother", but the multiple military ranks he held. Therefore, it is difficult not to "think about it" that Charles "deliberately" (at least in the eyes of the outside world) chose to announce his new appointment at a time when Harry was secretly sad at a hotel in the United Kingdom.
More interestingly, Harry's spokesman previously stated: "Unfortunately, this meeting is not possible due to His Majesty's schedule being too full. The Duke certainly understood his father's commitment to the schedule and his various other priorities. ......" Harry did not hide his grievances and sadness about not being ranked among his father's "priorities......
However, what made him even more aggrieved and dissatisfied was still to come. Two days later, Charles was revealed to have met Harry's ex-friend David Beckham privately in those days. While the King's meeting with the former England international is work-related (reportedly linked to Charles' King's Foundation), the contrast (and timing) is also too obvious. The king's father did not see his own son, but he met his son's former friend!!
William's meeting with Charles was also the first time that father and son had been in the same frame since Christmas. During this period, Charles III suffered from cancer and was treated until he recently resumed his official appearance; William was busy taking care of his wife, Catherine, and three children (Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis), and had abruptly reduced his official workload in the past few months. In addition, there are not many opportunities for father and son to attend official business, so it is quite rare to be in the same frame this time.
Of course, father and son met in private. While Charles spent most of his time recuperating at Sandringham Manor and Windsor Castle, the Welsh family now lives in Windsor, returning to Fort Ammerer on vacation. Both places are not far from Charles. "William was in contact with his father almost every day to check on his condition and the progress of his treatment," the source revealed. During Charles's treatment, his official duties were reduced a lot, so the Welsh Sambo had a lot more opportunities to see his grandfather than before. The three adorable grandsons also brought a lot of joy to Charles. ”
In the past two weeks, since being allowed by (doctors) to resume "face-to-face with the public" official duties, the old inspection official platoon is full, and I am very excited to take a look at this and that. A few days ago, during a surprise visit to a certain J camp, the old man said with a smile: "I'm sorry to surprise you. However, when I was given the opportunity to be allowed out of the 'cage', I was eager to come and see ......" Like the queen, Lao Cha also likes to "prick" into the crowd. Both mother and son believe that "only when you are seen can you be believed"; However, when it comes to William and Catherine, this "family motto" is probably about to be broken...... William and Kate have made it clear that the way they work will be very different from their parents' generation.
Today, Charles visited the Army J Air Force with great interest, and after handing over the "heavy responsibility" to his eldest son, who was pleased and proud, he left early by helicopter. After the handover ceremony, William changed into a new J suit and visited the Aviation Center.
In addition, according to foreign media reports, Charles and William are quite calm about Harry and Meghan's "royal family trip in quotation marks", after all, "it can't be fake, and it can't be fake". But the pressure is really high. However, the father and son also made their attitude clear again.
Jenny Bond, a former B-BC royal correspondent, told the outlet: "The King and Prince William are adamant that you either work for the royal family or you don't work for the royal family, there is no compromise. So, Harry's trip has nothing to do with the royal family and the 'ZF'. As for whether the royal family will take any specific "actions" after that, wait and see!
