King Charles III bestowed the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps on son Prince William, a title many assumed was being saved for Prince Harry who served with the Army Air Corps.

Prince William has a new job—sort of.

King Charles III bestowed his eldest son with the title Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps May 13, a title the monarch himself held for 32 years. However, the move was not without its controversy as Prince Harry was more closely tied to the Army Air Corps.

The 39-year-old trained as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009 and served with them during his second tour in Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013. Over his 10 years of military service, he rose to the rank of Apache helicopter commander and was known as Captain Harry Wales. He was even named best front-seat pilot by the British Defense Ministry in 2012, beating out more than 20 of his fellow Apache helicopter pilots.

However, while William did not served with the Army Air Corps, the 41-year-old does have plenty of pilot experience—he was a Royal Air Force rescue pilot, and also served as a full-time pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance from 2015 to 2017—which is something King Charles made sure to note during his speech at the ceremony.

"I do hope you'll go from strength to strength in the future with the Prince of Wales as your new colonel-in-chief," he said during the ceremony at the Army Aviation Centre, according to the BBC. "The great thing is he's a very good pilot indeed. So that's encouraging."

Harry, meanwhile has been celebrating his fellow veterans as he marked 10 years of the Invictus Games—a sporting event for sick, wounded active and former service members—with an event in London before heading to Nigeria with wife Meghan Markle. But amid his recent trip to his hometown, the Duke of Sussex wasn't able to reunite with his father or brother.

"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," a spokesperson for Harry said in a statement to E!, "it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty's full program."

Kate Middleton has no immediate plans to return to her royal duties after sharing news of her cancer diagnosis in March, according to a Kensington Palace spokesperson.

Kate Middleton remains on her own schedule.

Nearly two months after the Princess of Wales shared that she had been diagnosed with an unspecified form of cancer, a spokesperson for Kensington Palace shared an update on Kate's potential return to her public duties.

"The princess is not expected to return to work," the rep said in a May 21 statement to BBC, "until it's cleared by her medical team."

However, Kate is still privately keeping an eye on the causes close to her heart—including Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, the organization she founded in 2021 that aims to drive awareness and action on the transformative impact of kids' early years. As the spokesperson noted to the U.K. outlet, "Early childhood will continue to be central to her public work."

Kate and her children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6—who she shares with husband Prince William—have been staying away from the spotlight ever since she went public with her cancer diagnosis in March. At the time, the 42-year-old said she was in the early stages of preventative chemotherapy, which she started at the recommendation of her doctors when tests conducted after her January abdominal surgery found that cancer had been present. 

"As you can imagine, this has taken time," Kate said of her health journey in a video posted to her and William's social media channels. "It has taken me time to recover from major surgery in order to start my treatment. But, most importantly, it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis in a way that is appropriate for them, and to reassure them that I am going to be OK."

The royal added that William, 41, has been "a great source of comfort and reassurance" during this challenging chapter.

"We hope that you will understand that, as a family, we now need some time, space and privacy while I complete my treatment," she continued. "My work has always brought me a deep sense of joy and I look forward to being back when I am able, but for now I must focus on making a full recovery."
