In a rare joint official engagement, King Charles has handed over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to Prince William. The transfer of the colonelcy took place in front of an Apache attack helicopter at Middle Wallop airfield in Hampshire.
King Charles, who became the inaugural holder of the title 32 years ago, expressed his "great sadness" in passing on the role. He said, "Let me just say what a great joy it is to be with you even briefly on this occasion. But also it is tinged with great sadness after 32 years of knowing you all, admiring your many activities and achievements through the time that I've been lucky enough to be Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps.
In an exchange with an attendee, Charles was asked about his chemotherapy and shared, “It was “terrible losing your sense of taste,”
Meanwhile, in Nigeria: Meghan co-hosted a Women in Leadership panel event, where she admitted to changing her style in a bid to "fit in" with the local fashion. She looked stunning in a red maxi dress, ethically created by Nigerian designer Orire and priced at less than £230. Meghan revealed that her decision to wear the bold dress was a last-minute choice, explaining, "It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived, and I very quickly got the memo that I need to wear more colour so I can fit in with all of you in your incredible fashion."
Although Meghan arrived an hour late to the event, her passionate speech seemed to make up for any ill feelings. She expressed her gratitude, saying, "I want to start by saying thank you very much for just how gracious you've all been in welcoming my husband and I to this country… my country. I am just flattered and honoured and inspired. It has been a whirlwind 24 hours since we arrived."
While Meghan was co-hosting the event, Prince Harry reportedly left her in Abuja to visit a hospital in Kaduna, a region deemed "unsafe" by the UK government. The UK foreign office advises against all travel to Kaduna State due to frequent banditry, violent attacks, and a high threat of kidnap. Despite the risks, Harry, accompanied by a four-strong security detail, visited the hospital to meet with Nigerian soldiers who had suffered injuries fighting against the terrorist group Boko Haram.
