1. Oh. The Queen has given Prince William a new title a week after Prince Harry lost his.
Well.
In case we needed any more proof there is a right royal rift at the moment, the Queen has announced her grandson Prince William has a new role, a week after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were stripped of theirs.
On Sunday, Kensington Palace announced that Prince William was appointed by the Queen as Lord High Commissioner to the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland for this year.

You do realise you're just fuelling the baseless rumours of a "rift" and rivalry within the BRF by writing these articles, yes? The fact that William is being promoted in his job - in the context of him being the future King of England - has nothing to do with the direction in which Harry and Meghan have chosen to take their lives. They chose to walk away. Meanwhile, William continues on in his role, so of course he's going to be awarded duties and titles.

What a load of crap. It's not "proof" of any kind of rift. William is in direct line for the throne. It is to be expected that his 93 year old grandmother outsource some of the duties - that come with titles - to him as his role in the family increases. It's nothing to do with Harry. The royal family is not obliged to sit paralyzed, in a state of respectful mourning until it's considered appropriate that they just get on with business.
