Prince Harry arrives for Invictus Games anniversary service
Prince Harry was reportedly left "in tears" after it was announced that his father King Charles is set to bestow a new military honour on Prince William.
Just after the Duke of Sussex's spokesperson confirmed that Harry would not be seeing the King during his brief trip to the UK, Buckingham Palace revealed that the Prince of Wales would inherit the title of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.
A role held by Charles for 31 years, many had initially believed that Harry would one day receive this title, having served with the Air Corps in Afghanistan.
Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: "King Charles's announcement that Prince Harry is being stripped of his role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps is a real kick in the teeth for the son who always felt marginalised and underrated.
"What makes it much worse is that the role is being given to the very man who Harry sees as the cause of so many of his problems - his brother.
"And the announcement was deliberately made during Harry's brief visit to the UK to have maximum impact, it shows Harry that he really is no longer welcome."

Prince Harry leaves UK without having met his father or brother in a devastating snub
Prince Harry has officially left the UK to travel to Nigeria with his wife Meghan Markle.
Despite his hopes to the contrary the Prince was unable to secure a meeting with King Charles or any other members of the Royal Family during his trip.
The King was reportedly too busy to see his son as he hosted the first Buckingham Palace garden party of the season on Wednesday.
Meanwhile Harry was just a stone's throw away at St Paul's Cathedral for a special service marking ten years of the Invictus Games.
