Apparently, while the senior royals were aware of the emotional damage they would be causing Prince Harry, “they have decided the gloves are off.”

Continuing to speak on how the royal family feels about the situation, Richard added, “Harry needs to realize that when you betray the family, you don’t just escape the things you hated doing as a working royal. You also lose the things you loved.”

Adding more salt to the wound is the fact that Prince Harry loved being Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps as it was something “he was very proud” of.

Richard asserted that the Duke is also heartbroken because when he was serving in the military, it was “a rare happy time in his life” as he was recognized for his achievements “as a man” and not as a royal family member.

Ahead of the title handover on May 13, 2024, at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, Richard stated that Prince Harry’s “last few ties to his old life are being cut and he is being set adrift, permanently.”

However, the Duke of Sussex is reportedly fighting back against being pushed out as he was seen wearing his KCVO Neck Order and Star, conferred to him by his late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, at St. Paul’s Cathedral on May 9, 2024.

He was at the cathedral to honor the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games. The esteemed medal is conferred to an individual to recognize their service to the monarchy and is awarded as part of the Royal Victorian Order.
