Prince William to Receive Special Titles on 40th Birthday, Prince Harry Reportedly Furious

Prince William is set to receive special titles on his 40th birthday, which falls on Tuesday, according to a royal source.

The Duke of Cambridge could be granted a new military appointment reserved for senior members of the royal family.

This is in line with traditional royal protocol, where senior members of the royal family are understood to be military members and can receive promotions as they grow older, especially on milestone birthdays.

The Queen is expected to grant Prince William these special titles, which could include Admiral, General, and Air Chief Marshal.

Princess Anne, the Queen's daughter, was promoted to these roles by the Army and Royal Air Force in 2020 for her 70th birthday.

Prince Charles, William's own father, received the same titles in 2006 for his 58th birthday.

Despite leaving his royal duties behind, Prince Harry reportedly wasn't happy to hear the news.

The article claims that Harry barely has a relationship with his brother and that he expects William to be even more insufferable now.

Harry and Meghan almost didn't come back for the Jubilee because of how they've been treated by Kate and William, so it stung to hear the Queen go on and on about how beloved and important they are.

The royal source believes that Prince William and Kate will be the key to keeping the institution alive in the face of growing criticism because they're by far the most popular members of the family.

With these new titles, William will now have more power than ever before.

In a comment piece he wrote for Big Issue, the Duke of Cambridge said that he plans to use his platform to help tell people's stories and bring attention and action to those who are struggling.

He also revealed that he would be holding a joint 40th birthday party with his wife Kate after her own party plans were cancelled due to surging Covid rates.

The party will be held at the Queen's Windsor Castle home or Sandringham Estate later this summer.

Prince William's 40th birthday marks a significant milestone for the future king, who is rapidly stamping his authority on the British royal family by plotting a course between tradition and modernity.

He is often held up as a model for the future of the monarchy, and according to pollsters YouGov, he is the most popular royal behind the Queen, with a 66% approval rating, followed by Kate on 60%.

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams stated that Prince William's popularity is important because he is stepping up to support the Queen and create an identity as the future king.

Since the Queen began winding down her duties due to ill health and old age last year, Prince William has been an increasingly influential figure in the royal family.

He accompanied his father when the Queen missed the state opening of Parliament in May and has also weighed in on important family decisions.

Many people even want Prince William to leapfrog his father and become king when his grandmother dies.

With his growing influence and popularity, he is certainly a strong contender for the throne.
