“It is with the greatest pleasure that I assume the role of your Captain General,” the monarch wrote in a letter to the Royal Marines published Friday. The announcement fell on the 358th anniversary of the British Marines, established in 1664 by King Charles II.
The new monarch had served in the navy during his military training in the 1970s. “I am immensely proud to follow in the footsteps of so many members of my family who have held this role with deep admiration for the past three and a half centuries,” said Charles.
Harry, who served in the British Armed Forces for ten years and served twice in Afghanistan, inherited the title of Captain General from his grandfather, Prince Philip, in December 2017. He was forced to resign when he gave up all royal duties in February 2021 after moving to the United States. Since then, there has been repeated speculation as to who would assume his honorary military posts. (sda/dpa)
