King praises ‘good pilot’ Prince William as he hands over military role
The King has told the Army Air Corps of his hopes that it will go from “strength to strength” under the colonelcy of his elder son, the Prince of Wales, calling him a “very good pilot indeed”.
The King vouched for the skills of his son and heir during the official handover of his role as Colonel-in-Chief at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, with the pair meeting in front of an Apache for a clear public message of royal continuity.
It is their first official joint engagement since 2022, and has been widely interpreted as a show of support for the Prince of Wales as the King returns to public duties while having treatment for cancer.

For the 4th time but harry will fail again. Like always did at everything. He’s a loser. Harry is a good for nothing waste of time.

It is refreshing to see that this appointment was not reported as a "snub" to Prince Harry. People with short memories seem to forget that Prince Harry relinquished his Royal military appointments when he decided to follow his wife to stardom in California.

True, it’s ridiculous that Harry seems to need reminding that he followed her like the dogs tail he is, on their farcical “freedom flight” boasting and making false claims, thinking of the billions they would make selling his family for money like the Judas he is with lies . Not attending a military veterans event instead following his d list wife to lion king premiere where he was seen and heard embarrassingly begging the Disney boss for a job for Megain. Second hand cringe for the ginge.

I think it’s funny how the aviation legend award board asked Prince William to accept the award they wanted to give it to him, but unlike Harry William isn’t desperate to receive embarrassing awards he hasn’t deserved. William as a real Royal Family member likes to give awards instead., recognising others and their accomplishments.Thank God William was born first 🙏🏼❤
BE GREAT TO SEE THEM OUT TOGETHER AGAIN

What’s the big deal? It’s an honorary title and it’s not like he’ll get involve with the day to day operational structure of the military command. He’ll just dress up in his uniform and go to military parties and functions.

It's not an honorary title, it's a fundamental protection against Government overreach. The Armed forces swear allegiance to the Crown, not the Government. Should the Government become tyrannical, or wish to use the Armed Forces against the People, they can't just order the Generals to do it.

Prince William doesn’t have to call himself a pilot, he is a qualified pilot ,of many many years. Who as a search and rescue pilot along with his team has saved many lives in hazardous conditions, that would have otherwise have perished. The person who claims to be a pilot but isn’t one is Harry not William. Wrong brother.
