Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, broke down in tears after learning of King Charles’ decision to bestow high military honors on his brother Prince William, a move that shocked the royal family. When Harry returned to London to celebrate a milestone at the 10th anniversary of the Invincible Games, he was shaken.
Royal expert Tom Quinn said the news was a devastating blow to Harry, who has long struggled with the prospect of being separated from the royal family. The decision to name William the head of the Royal Air Force, the unit Harry served with in Afghanistan, was anathema to the prince.
Deliberate Move
Quinn said the timing of the announcement wasn’t a coincidence but a deliberate move to cause more heartache for Harry. Quinn says that the decision was made when Harry was in England, and there was a clear message from the royal family that he was no longer welcome in the royal family.
The significance of the move was not lost on viewers, and many saw it as a positive response to Harry’s decision to step down as head of state in 2020, hinting at Harry’s decision to cut his ties, connection with his past life.

The Last Straw
For Harry, this latest development is the culmination of a series of events that have caused his relationship with his family to crumble. The decision to appoint William to hold that important role for Harry is a reminder of the growing tension between him and his brother. Although Harry hoped to reconcile with his family during his brief return to England, he was disappointed that he was not able to connect with William and his sister-in-law Kate Middleton, who is currently battling cancer. The loss of these important family ties has deepened the sense of isolation Harry has experienced since returning from royal duties.
While Harry remains outside the royal family, he is finding comfort in his new home in Montecito, California, with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children. However, the heartache caused by the breakdown of his relationship with his family is a reminder of the price he paid for choosing his own path.
After this final blow, Harry begins the difficult task of forging a new identity for himself, defined no longer by his noble lineage but by the strength of his own beliefs. Although the road ahead is full of challenges, Harry is determined to make his own way, despite the obstacles.
