Prince William has a new job—sort of.

King Charles III bestowed his eldest son with the title Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps May 13, a title the monarch himself held for 32 years. However, the move was not without its controversy as Prince Harry was more closely tied to the Army Air Corps.

The 39-year-old trained as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009 and served with them during his second tour in Afghanistan from 2012 to 2013. Over his 10 years of military service, he rose to the rank of Apache helicopter commander and was known as Captain Harry Wales. He was even named best front-seat pilot by the British Defense Ministry in 2012, beating out more than 20 of his fellow Apache helicopter pilots.

However, while William did not served with the Army Air Corps, the 41-year-old does have plenty of pilot experience—he was a Royal Air Force rescue pilot, and also served as a full-time pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance from 2015 to 2017—which is something King Charles made sure to note during his speech at the ceremony.

"I do hope you'll go from strength to strength in the future with the Prince of Wales as your new colonel-in-chief," he said during the ceremony at the Army Aviation Centre, according to the BBC. "The great thing is he's a very good pilot indeed. So that's encouraging."

Harry, meanwhile has been celebrating his fellow veterans as he marked 10 years of the Invictus Games—a sporting event for sick, wounded active and former service members—with an event in London before heading to Nigeria with wife Meghan Markle. But amid his recent trip to his hometown, the Duke of Sussex wasn't able to reunite with his father or brother.

"In response to the many inquiries and continued speculation on whether or not The Duke will meet with his father while in the U.K. this week," a spokesperson for Harry said in a statement to E!, "it unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty's full program."

"My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."

After photo agencies pulled the picture Kensington Palace shared of Kate since having her abdominal surgery on March 10, the Princess of Wales addressed claims the photo was doctored. 

"Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing," she tweeted on March 11. "I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother's Day. C."

"Throughout this period, His Majesty will continue to undertake State business and official paperwork as usual.The King is grateful to his medical team for their swift intervention, which was made possible thanks to his recent hospital procedure.
