Royal Promotions: Prince William and Kate Middleton Take on New Military Roles and Titles

Prince William has been appointed as the Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps, the same unit in which his brother Prince Harry once served as an Apache helicopter pilot. This appointment highlights the significant change in circumstances between the two brothers, as Harry has been stripped of all his honorary military appointments after stepping back from royal duties. William has also taken on additional military roles, including Colonel-in-Chief of The Mercian Regiment and Royal Honorary Air Commodore of RAF Valley, while his wife Kate has assumed several honorary positions previously held by other members of the royal family.
