King Charles has handed down one of his titles after more than thirty years. 

He handed down the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to William, saying that he was “tinged with sadness” after so many years of holding the title. 

His younger son, who served in the Air Corps twice in Afghanistan, spending three and a half years of his life in service, was passed over. 

UK Correspondent Edna Brady told Mike Hosking that if Harry ever needed confirmation that he’s on his own now, it’s come both today and last week, when none of the Windsor family showed to support his charity event.
