The most appropriate I think that is terrible to say. So what is She really saying that prince william is not qualified. I thought this was supposed to be about king.Charles and prince williams media spot not Harry's P r. The media apparently doesn't really like prince william cause they sent up him but they give harry all the Attention the media is a piece of crap.

[baibemutts]

The headline is about King Charles giving prince William a tittle but u are ending up showing us the attention seekers the duke and duchess of Netflix

God blesses his Royal highness the Prince William. He is a very loyal devote umile man. As a pilot he deserves all

[terrydougherty]

This prestigious role was NEVER going to go to Harry. William, the Prince of Wales, is the King's successor and this role will be handed over to Prince George in the future. It has nothing to do with Harry. Sad the commentators need to constantly bring Harry into the mix. He is immaterial to the Monarchy now, he left by his own choice. Move on and give accolades to the dignified Prince William who more than deserves this role. What an honor it is for the Army Air Corp to now have William as their colonel in chief.

God Save The King.
Long Live The King.

This role would never have gone Harry, it goes to the Prince of Wales . This was announced August 2023 . Get your facts straight .

[patmc]

an honor to those who truly deserve it, good for King Charles III

[southernassweettea]

I don’t understand that you don’t understand, HARRY QUIT!

[Sonyag]

Fake news. This honor goes to the reigning sovereign OR the heir to the throne. Now that Charles is King, the position went to the only person who can hold it is the Prince of Wales, which is William.

[ysivasan]

The title qas always means for William, not Harry. It was a role the king held as the Prince of Wales, which he now bestows on his successor.

[mlouise]

This woman is stu***, William is the next king of course the king will give it to him. He's a real, pilot unlike bunker hasbeen.😂

[ruthatamenwan]

Get your facts right. The announcement was made last year in August. Also, the king was given this role 32 years ago as the prince of wales and since he is now king he is supposed to hand iver to william, considering he is tbe prince if wales now.

[vesnagodess]

I was hoping to see segment about Prince William, not the PR dribble about Harry's failed visit and Meghan's fke heritage (she always claimed to be Caucasian, then claimed Maltese heritage, and now Nigerian??).

[BettyWright-yc]

JUST SHUT UP ABOUT THE MARKLES AND WILL THEY OR WON'T THEY. STOP WITH THE STORIES ABOUT THE STUPID MARKLES. YOU'RE JUST TRYING TO PROMOTE DRAMA FOR HEADLINES.QUIT ALREADY. GO BACK TO BEING JOURNALISTS AND DOING SOME REAL NEWS ABOUT PEOPLE AND THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER IN THIS WORLD.

[lauraragazzi]

Congratulations to HRH Prince William for this deserved honor. A strong man, a real Royal, and a true pilot.

[Tomtaylor]

Prince William is a real Hero, a real pilot, a real man, unlike Harry who buys fake aviation awards 😂

[SPridham]

Previous Prince of Wales passes honour to the next ..
Harry watched his Wife mock our Commander in Chief on Netflix.
Armed Forces not amused .

[nat]

No!! Spare will not be taking this title, it goes from prince of Wales to prince of Wales👍😊 and you woman should know that

[GingerGrutzius]

Well-deserved honor to the Prince of Wales, William. Excellent move for King Charles III. What a farse of the Ozempic, too thin, aged MM, and silly Harry on Mock-Royal tour for Netflix material. Oh, for shame, money, money, MonEh...GG Texas.

[ScorpioLurking]

The role was held by Charles, as Prince of Wales, for 31years. It is passed on to the next Prince of Wales : William.
Comments from someone who understands the situation would have been helpful.
