According to the front page news of the British " Daily Mail " on October 28 local time, Charles III King replaced his son Prince Harry as the commander-in-chief of the Royal Marine Corps. This was the second day after the release of the news of the launch of the Duke of Sussex's provocative memoir "Spare" (meaning Spare, spare tire). The media believes that this is the king's response to the provocation. Harry cherishes his former military position and experience the most, and now he will be even more melancholy and angry.
October 28th is the 358th anniversary of the founding of Royal Marine Corps . King Charles III said in his blessing statement that it is the greatest honor to be your commander-in-chief. There have been many members of my family who have taken on this role with deep admiration over the past three and a half centuries and I am very proud to follow in their footsteps.
"Whether at sea or on land, the Royal Marines have a brilliant and unparalleled history. Your courage, determination, self-discipline and extraordinary ability to endure in the most extreme environments have given me great encouragement."
"I am honored to be a member of the Legion family and look forward to meeting you in the near future. At the same time, I sincerely wish you a happy 358th birthday!"
at the end wrote, "Per Mare Per Terram" - this is the motto of the Royal Marines of the United Kingdom, and it is the Latin of "By Sea By Land", which means "through the sea through the land".
Royal Marine Corps Commander-in-Chief is an honorary title, the late Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip held this position for 64 years. In December 2017, Prince Philip retired and Prince Harry took over the position of grandpa.
In February 2021, after a one-year review of the decision of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to resign from the royal family, Queen Elizabeth II announced that Harry's withdrawal from Meghan was "permanent". She deprived Harry of all military positions, including the Royal Marine General Commander-in-Chief, the Honorary Air Force Commander of the Royal Air Force, and the Honorary Commander-in-Chief of the small ships and dive teams of the Royal Navy Command.
For Prince Harry, military positions and experiences are what he cherishes the most, so the deprivation of these positions has caused "permanent harm" to him.
After that, Buckingham Palace declared that it would hand over the post to members of the royal family who were performing their duties, so the media expected Prince William to replace Harry in this position.
However, some analysts believe that one of the reasons why Harry and Meghan left the royal family was the disagreement with William Kate. If William takes over as Harry, it may be regarded as an unnecessary provocation.
Therefore, analysts believe that it is most appropriate to take over the position by the least controversial Princess Anne in the royal family.
27, Penguin Random House announced that Prince Harry’s memoirs will be launched on January 10, and the book will be released in 16 languages in many countries. Prince Harry has received a prepayment of US$20 million (about RMB 145 million). The most surprising thing is that the title of the book is "Spare", which is said to be a tribute to Prince Harry's "spare tire". The book uses "original, unwavering honesty" to tell the prince's growth experience and his "from trauma to recovery" process; the book's Spanish subtitle is "En La Sombra", which means "in the shadow", and it is connected to "the spare tire of life in the shadow". This title is evaluated by royal experts as "sensational", but the king's spokesperson refused to comment on the book.
King Charles III himself is a veteran of Royal Navy , and he served in the 845 Naval Aviation Squadron.
During the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles banned Prince Harry from wearing military uniforms. Harry's spokesman issued a sharp statement saying that Prince Harry will wear morning clothes at the funeral event, but "the ten years of his military service are not determined by the uniform."
—Harry always provoked his father, and now his king's father personally took over his military position. I wonder what Harry feels.
