It’s only three months since King Charles’s coronation, and he’s assigned new military titles to some working royals.
This comes amid the removal of “His Highness” Prince Harry – the HRH reference on the royal family’s website, which has not been fully updated since Queen Elizabeth’s departure.
Among the new titleholders are Charles’ eldest son and heir, Prince William, with his wife, Kate Middleton, whose appointment has sentimental meaning to him.

Per PEOPLE, the list includes the Prince and Princess of Wales, the King, Queen Camilla, Prince Edward, Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie, Princess Anne, Prince Richard, and, Duchess of Gloucester, Birgitte.
It should be noted that the group has held various military partnerships, and the news of their latest appointment comes a month before King Charles’ first Conquest Day. The palace announcement read, “Following Her Majesty the Queen, the King is pleased to announce further military appointments for working Members of the Royal Family.”
It continued, “The new appointments will continue to reflect the close relationship between the Armed Forces and the Royal Family in Her Majesty’s reign.” The update lists Prince William as Colonel-in-Chief, The Mercian Regiment; Colonel-in-Chief, Army Air Corps; and Royal Honorary Air Commodore Royal Air Force (RAF) Valley, where he was a pilot.
He flew as an RAF Search and Rescue pilot based at RAF Valley in Anglesey, Wales, from 2010 to 2013. Similarly, Princess Kate was given the role of Commodore-in-Chief of the Fleet Fleet, Colonel-in-Chief of the Queen’s 1st Dragoon Guards, and Commodore Royal Honorary Air Coningsby of the Royal Air Force.
The latter title holds special meaning for the monarch as one of his grandfathers, Peter Middleton, served in the Royal Air Force. According to reports, Peter also worked with Prince Philip by flying as co-pilot during an air tour of South America in 1962.
The royal couple hold other RAF-related posts, with William serving as Honorary Air Commandant of RAF Coningsby, while Kate is Honorary Air Commodore of the Air Cadets.
They have also exposed their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, to RAF displays by taking them on a family field trip to the Royal International Air Tattoo at RAF Fairford, the world’s largest military air show.

While fans receive the latest developments, they may also have questions about Prince Harry’s update page on the royal family’s website which does not include his HRH reference. The Duke of Sussex still has the HRH title in his bio as of Friday, August 4. However, on Tuesday, August 8, it was revealed that both references to his title had been removed.
The reference was linked to the 38-year-old’s work to raise awareness of HIV/AIDS in 2016, and his title has now been replaced by “Duke” or “Duke of Sussex.” It should be noted that Harry was awarded his dukedom by the late Queen Elizabeth after his marriage to Meghan Markle in May 2018.
Meanwhile, in 2020, when he relinquishes his royal duties and talks with the royal family, Buckingham Palace announced that he and his wife will no longer use their HRH titles “as they no longer work as members of the Royal Family.”

However, an insider revealed earlier this month that the 42-year-old actress had moved in with her family after witnessing how the feud was affecting her husband. The parents also focused on raising Archie and Lilibet in Montecito.
“The situation with [King Charles III] and [Prince William] still very difficult to [Harry],” the source said. “Meghan has always supported him, though.”
They added that while Meghan used to be pessimistic about the subject, she now seems to have let it go and has a “softer approach to Harry’s family.”
