In his 50th year serving as Colonel, the Duke of Kent will pass on the role to the Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke of Kent has been a staunch supporter of the Scots Guards, regularly visiting the regiment and even traveling to conflict zones like Iraq and Afghanistan to meet with its members. Expressing his gratitude, the Duke of Kent remarked on the honor of serving as Colonel and witnessing the bravery and dedication of the Scots Guards over the years.
Accepting the honor, the Duke of Edinburgh acknowledged the responsibility it entails, promising to uphold the regiment's esteemed reputation. The Scots Guards, one of the Army's household division regiments, celebrated the start of the Duke of Kent's 50th year as Colonel with cheers and a special pipe tune at their annual gathering last September.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that Prince Harry is displeased with King Charles's decision to empower Prince Edward, as it indicates the King's reluctance to welcome Harry back as a working royal. Despite Harry's purported desire to contribute to royal duties, there has been no indication of concrete plans. Royal expert Richard Eden suggests that while Harry may wish to return to Britain, tensions within the family could pose obstacles to reconciliation.
As for Prince William, he is reportedly focused on his future role as king, with concerns about King Charles's health and the responsibilities that lie ahead. Amidst speculation about a potential reconciliation with Harry, some experts believe that William may have moved past any desire for such a reunion, prioritizing his duties and family's well-being above interpersonal dramas.
