Royal Fury: Prince Harry Reportedly Upset Over Queen’s Decision to Promote William

Prince William may be in for a significant royal promotion as he celebrates his 40th birthday on Tuesday, with reports suggesting that the Queen is poised to bestow special titles upon him for reaching this milestone.

According to a royal source, the Duke of Cambridge could mark his 40th birthday with a new military appointment typically reserved for senior members of the royal family.

In line with traditional royal protocol, senior royals are often granted military promotions as they age, especially on milestone birthdays such as William's 40th.

Citing a recent example, the source mentioned Princess Anne, the Queen's daughter, who was promoted to the roles of General and Air Chief Marshal by the Army and Royal Air Force in 2020 for her 70th birthday.

Similarly, Prince Charles, William's father, received the titles of Admiral, General, and Air Chief Marshal in 2006 for his 58th birthday.

Currently, Prince William holds four honorary military appointments in the UK.

The source expressed belief that these promotions would play a crucial role in upholding the royal institution amidst increasing criticism, as William and Kate are widely regarded as the most popular members of the royal family.

With these new titles, William is set to wield more influence than ever before.

However, despite stepping back from his royal duties, Prince Harry reportedly did not take the news well.

A source remarked that Harry, who has a strained relationship with his brother, is expected to find William even more insufferable now.

Harry and Meghan were allegedly hesitant to return for the Jubilee celebrations due to their strained interactions with Kate and William.

The Queen's praise for the couple during the Jubilee events reportedly stung Harry, given their perceived treatment by certain members of the royal family.

In a comment piece for the Big Issue, Prince William expressed gratitude for his role, emphasizing the importance of using his platform to advocate for those in need.

In light of his milestone birthday, Prince William is set to host a joint celebration with his wife, Kate, after her original party plans were canceled due to rising Covid rates.

The Duke of Cambridge has been granted permission to hold the party at either the Queen's Windsor Castle Home or Sandringham Estate later this summer.

Senior royals, including the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, are expected to attend the bash, in keeping with the tradition of celebrating decade milestones within the royal family.

As Prince William turns 40, he is solidifying his position within the British royal family by balancing tradition with modernity.

Alongside his wife Catherine, who celebrated her own milestone birthday in January, William enjoys high public approval ratings, second only to Queen Elizabeth II.

Polls indicate that William commands a 66% approval rating, with Kate following closely at 60%.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams noted the significance of William's 40th birthday, highlighting his role in supporting the Queen and shaping his identity as the future king.

With the Queen reducing her duties due to health reasons, William has emerged as a key figure within the royal family.

The Duke of Cambridge has taken on more responsibilities, including representing the monarchy at important events and contributing to family decisions.
