Prince William shared a rare glimpse into the emotional side of his royal duties as he took on a key task on behalf of his father, King Charles.
The monarch and his heir have recently strengthened their alliance over the past few months as they dealt with some crucial decisions shaping the future of the monarchy, changing it significantly. The prime example of that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor and how he had been ousted from the royal family following the slew of his scandals.
As the titles of the shamed royals were removed, the discussion over Prince Harry has been brought under consideration once again. Moreover, since the King had welcomed Harry to Clarence House for private tea in September, sparking a possibility of the return of the Duke of Sussex.
The King, who is still undergoing weekly cancer treatment, has been entrusting a much bigger role to his eldest son. On Wednesday, the Prince of Wales, conducted an investiture ceremony at Windsor Castle, where William presented honours to various recipients.
However, this time around, the update from Kensington Palace has a unique touch to highlight the “special memories at Windsor”.
In the video clip shared by the Palace, it showed William presenting the honours but the focus was not on the recipients but on the members of the family, who looked on proudly at their loved ones.
“Warmest congratulations to all of today’s awards recipients - and to the proud families and friends who help make these day so treasured,” the statement read.
The heartwarming video clip reinforced the love and connection families hold for each other, which may also suggest the soft corner he may hold for his brother, Prince Harry.
The estranged brothers once shared a very close bond together and had supported each other through thick and thin. In recent times, the Duke of Sussex has been focusing his work on his charities and patronages.
Meanwhile, Invictus Games remains Harry’s top passion project, which has garnered much praise internationally.
The Duke of Sussex is meant to return to UK for the 2027 iteration of the games which will be held in Birmingham.
As the much-anticipated event inches closer, there will be conversation about the attendance from the royal family, given that the King and William, both have served in the army.
It is also key to note that royals hold special respect for veterans hence it would be an unavoidable situation for them to dismiss the Invictus Games. It is possible that William is preparing himself for an appearance with his insight into familial bonds.
Although, the mystery will only unfold itself in due time.
