Prince Harry ‘in shock’ after being stripped of favourite titles

Prince Harry was left devastated after the royal family’s major move shattered the duke’s dream.

The Duke of Sussex mourned silently after losing his military titles, a source has claimed.

“Harry was really hurt that he wasn’t allowed to keep his official ties to the military,” a friend of the Duke of Sussex said. the mail.

The Duke, who has completed two tours of duty in Afghanistan, has previously held several honorary military titles, including Commodore-in-Chief Small Ships and Diving, Honorary Air Commodore RAF Honington and Captain-General Royal Marines.

These titles were bestowed on him by the late Queen Elizabeth II, but were stripped once he officially stepped down as a working member of the royal family.

The father-of-two has faced a major setback in the US, with a petition to stop Harry from receiving an award reaching 50,000 signatures.

The petition states that “awarding this honor to someone who does not reflect the intent of the award diminishes its value and disrespects Tillman’s memory.”

Harry is expected to receive the Pat Tillman Memorial Award in Hollywood this month.

Tilman’s mother Mary blasted the decision to give the award named after her late son to Prince Harry, saying: “I am shocked as to why they have chosen such a controversial and divisive individual to receive this award.”

Previously, author and royal biographer Robert Jobson, who wrote Our King: The Man and the Monarch Revealed, claimed Harry “hates” that his estranged father took such drastic action after his son quit royal life in 2020.

“He hates the idea of ​​not being Captain General of the Royal Marines… and he hates the fact that he’s lost all those positions,” Jobson said previously. “The Royal Beat” from True Royalty TV.

In May, Buckingham Palace announced that William would be appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, despite Harry having served with the unit in Afghanistan. The announcement appeared to be made to inflict maximum pain on Harry, on the very day he returned to London to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.

“King Charles’ announcement… is a real blow to a son who has always felt marginalised and undervalued,” royal expert Tom Quinn told the Mirror.“They say he was in tears when he heard this.”

“What makes it even worse is that this role is being assigned to the very man Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems: his brother.”
