King Charles takes major decisions on Catherine and Harry as more tension grows between them
King Charles III has made a significant decision to strengthen his rule amid his ongoing health battle.
The 75-year-old monarch, who has recently returned to public duties after getting the green light from his medical team, surprised fans with a major announcement.
The King has announced he will hold his first investiture ceremony since being diagnosed with cancer, honoring luminaries such as the Archbishop of Canterbury and Lady Jilly Cooper next week.
This announcement comes as Harry and Meghan are making headlines for their trip to Nigeria and provides a new update on the King’s health as his doctors have allowed him to undertake the largest indoor engagement at Windsor Castle.

King Charles still has an unspecified type of cancer and continues to undergo treatment, but he has now been permitted to take on more public-facing duties. Most recently, the King hosted a garden party this week and is hopeful of attending key events like the D-Day commemorations and Trooping the Colour. Queen Camilla has mentioned several times that she has had difficulty holding him back, while the King himself expressed his joy at being “out of my cage” in a recent interview.
Peter Phillips, the late Queen Elizabeth’s eldest grandchild, revealed the reality of the King’s illness, stating, “I think at last he’s hugely frustrated. He’s frustrated that he can’t get on and do all that he wants to be able to do.” Princess Anne’s son added, “However, he is very pragmatic and understands that there’s a period where he still needs to focus on himself.”
Prince William has left everyone in shock with his latest post, days after King Charles III moved Prince Harry to tears with a significant decision. The Prince of Wales, who has been appointed to command Harry’s former regiment by King Charles, seemingly attempted to clarify his military service and experience. On Tuesday, the Prince and Princess of Wales’ social media accounts shared photos of a young Prince William in military uniform with helicopters, highlighting his commitment and service to the country’s armed forces.
Prince Harry was reportedly in tears after King Charles gave a new military honor to his eldest son, Prince William, on Tuesday. Buckingham Palace announced that the heir to the throne, William, will be made colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps, despite Prince Harry having served with the unit in Afghanistan. The announcement seemed timed to cause maximum pain for Harry, coming on the same day he returned to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
William, however, did not serve directly in the Army Air Corps during his military tenure. Instead, he fulfilled roles as a search and rescue pilot and later as an air ambulance pilot. Buckingham Palace declared that the Prince of Wales would assume leadership of the regiment, marking another blow for Harry during his short visit to the UK. It is worth noting that both royal brothers are trained military pilots, with Harry having served directly in the Army Air Corps during his second deployment in Afghanistan until 2014.
