Армейский авиационный корпус — это старое подразделение герцога Сассекского, в котором он служил командиром вертолета Apache и вторым пилотом-стрелком во время своей второй командировки в Афганистан в 2012 году. Решение передать эту роль Уильяму, было воспринято как удар для Гарри, после того как об этом было объявлено.
Король официально передал роль главнокомандующего армейским воздушным корпусом принцу Уильяму, будущему королю.
Во вторник король посвятит в рыцари архиепископа Кентерберийского за его ключевую роль в коронации и наградит дамой автора бестселлеров Джилли Купер.
Монарх поприветствует в общей сложности 52 получателя, одного за другим, в Виндзорском замке.
За последние несколько месяцев король наградил нескольких людей почестями.
Однако эти церемонии проходили в частном порядке во время индивидуальных аудиенций в королевских резиденциях.
The King has spoken about losing his sense of taste as he discussed the side effects of cancer treatment.
During a visit in Hampshire, he made the remark as he spoke to a veteran who had previously undergone chemotherapy for testicular cancer.
The monarch is receiving treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer and was given permission by his doctors to return to public duties last month.
Ahead of his first major investiture on Tuesday since his cancer diagnosis, the King officially handed over the role of colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps to Prince William today.
The monarch and the heir-to-the-throne were pictured smiling while chatting together during a visit to the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, on Monday.
The Army Air Corps is the Duke of Sussex’s old unit, in which he served as an Apache helicopter commander and co-pilot gunner during his second tour to Afghanistan in 2012.
The decision to hand the role to William, who served as a helicopter pilot with the RAF, was seen as a blow to Harry when it was announced last year.
On Tuesday, the King will knight the Archbishop of Canterbury for his key role in the coronation, and bestow a damehood on bestselling author Jilly Cooper.
The monarch will greet 52 recipients in total, one by one, at Windsor Castle.
The King has invested a handful of people with honours over the past few months.
However, these ceremonies took place in private during individual audiences at royal residences.
