Prince William Just Took Over a Role Meant for Harry Amid Reports He Wants Him ‘Harshly' Dealt With For the ‘Ultimate Windsor Crime'
Amid the rift that's going on with Harry and King Charles, Prince William has taken up the reins on a role that was meant for Harry. The Prince of Wales took up a traditional military role recently. Prince William was appointed Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps (ACC) in 2024 after his father's coronation. The King handed him the position at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop. It's widely thought that Prince Harry would get this role since in 2012, he served as an Apache helicopter commander and co-pilot gunner with the Army Air Corps. Since the latter stepped down from his Royal duties, William was responsible for taking over. More from StyleCaster What Queen Camilla Really Thinks of Harry Amid Reports Charles Doesn't 'Trust' Him After His 'Attack' on the Family A Man With Drugs Just Broke into William & Kate's Home Months After the Couple Were Burglarized Prince William also served in the British Army with the Blues and Royals and as an RAF search and rescue pilot. In his memoir Spare, Prince Harry opened up about his experience in flying the Apache helicopter and how he described killing 25 people as removing 'chess pieces.'He was criticized by British military officials, but defended his choice to share his story with the public. He told Stephen Colbert on The Late Show, 'I made a choice to share it because having spent nearly two decades working with veterans all around the world, I think the most important thing is to be honest and be able to give space to others to be able to share their experiences without any shame.' Prince William's visit to the ACC comes weeks after there were reports that the future King won't be easy on his brother when he takes the throne. An insider told The Daily Beast that the Prince of Wales wants to strip his brother and sister-in-law of their HRH titles , 'It's no secret William wants Harry more harshly dealt with. He thinks he has betrayed the family from top to bottom, which is the ultimate Windsor crime. It wouldn't take much to provoke him to flex his muscles when he is king.' The source explained that Charles, who was diagnosed with cancer in 2024, has a different approach to Harry and Meghan that William wants to change when he ascends to the throne. 'Charles isn't going to open a new front in the civil war on the basis of one Instagram post, and it's not as if they are calling themselves HRH. I think everyone is pretty clear, at this stage, what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's position in the family is,' the insider said.

Jessie J diagnosed with early breast cancer, says she'll undergo surgery
Jessie J was diagnosed with "early breast cancer," the U.K. pop singer said on social media on Wednesday. The 37-year-old artist, whose real name is Jessica Ellen Cornish, said she was diagnosed with breast cancer before her latest single "No Secrets" was released in April. She said she will undergo surgery following her performance at Summertime Ball on June 15, an annual music festival in London. "Cancer sucks in any form, but I'm holding onto the word 'early'," she told her nearly 14 million followers on Instagram in a video. Jessie J said she's sharing her diagnosis partly because she's "not processing it," since she has been consumed with work. "Sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories," the singer said. The video was met with a flurry of supportive comments, including from fellow British pop stars Rita Ora and Leigh-Anne Pinnock. "Your literally my favourite person and I'm praying for you you've got this. my mother had it and I know the surgery and any treatment on this matter is mentally tough so I'm here for you. X," Ora wrote. The Grammy-nominated signer is known for her powerful and unique vocal. Her greatest hits include "Price Tag," "Masterpiece," Do It Like a Dude," "Domino" and "Bang Bang," the 2014 collaboration with Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj. Prior to "No Secrets," she had not release any new music since 2018. Breast cancer is characterized by five major stages, from Stage 0 to Stage 4. While the singer didn't disclose further details about her diagnosis, an early stage of breast cancer is "highly treatable and survivable," according to the National Breast Cancer Foundation.
