Adding more salt to the wound is the fact that Prince Harry loved being Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps as it was something âhe was very proudâ of.
Richard asserted that the Duke is also heartbroken because when he was serving in the military, it was âa rare happy time in his lifeâ as he was recognized for his achievements âas a manâ and not as a royal family member.
