Regiments Battle over Securing Prince Harry as their Honorary Colonel

PRINCE HARRY is at the centre of a tug-of-war between regiments who want him as their honorary colonel.

The battle comes as Palace insiders admit the 31-year-old, who has carried out just two official engagements so far this year, has been “lacking direction” since leaving the Army in 2015.

Military sources last night confirmed Harry would be discussed at an Army appointments board in April. Shop Burberry.

One senior officer, based at the Army’s London District headquarters in Horse Guards, said more than seven regiments and corps wanted the Prince to join them as ceremonial figurehead. Click link for full post from EXPRESS.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
