During a visit to the Army Flying Museum in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, King Charles III and Prince William engaged in a conversation with Aaron Mapplebeck, a British Army veteran and fellow cancer survivor. As Mapplebeck shared his experience of losing his sense of taste during chemotherapy, the 75-year-old monarch empathized, revealing that he had faced a similar challenge.
In a surprising turn of events, a longtime friend of Prince Harry addressed King Charles, expressing concern that he had time for various engagements but not for his younger son. A friend of Charles responded to this, stating that while the King was advised to prioritize his treatment and recovery, the idea that he refused to find time for Prince Harry was debatable.
However, a friend of Prince Harry countered, highlighting that the King could have made an effort to see his son, especially considering the public knowledge of his visit. Royal author Tom Quinn described the King’s announcement as a significant blow to Prince Harry, who has often felt marginalized and underrated. Quinn further noted that the appointment of Prince William to the role previously held by Prince Harry added to the pain, as Harry perceives his brother as the root of many of his problems.
