The Royal Marines' patience seems to be about to break. One laments a lack of commitment from Prince Harry.
Has Prince Harry (36) turned his back on his obligations in Great Britain entirely? The latest remarks by one of the most famous British military commanders suggest so. Major General Julian Thompson (89) criticized the alleged lack of engagement of the Queen's grandson against "Mail on Sunday". "I don't want to give him a lecture, but he has to take his job seriously," said the 89-year-old. It is not in the interests of the Royal Marines that Harry live as Captain General in the US and "never" visit the UK.
Was the contact deliberately broken off?
Harry had retired from his role as Captain General as part of the Megxit deal. A successor has not yet been determined. According to the report, it is hoped that Harry will return to his post after the twelve-month review of the new agreements. However, contact between the husband of Duchess Meghan (39) and the armed forces does not seem to exist. Unnamed sources told the newspaper that there had been no telephone or written exchange since March.
"He is expected to attend events, be nearby, and be as accessible as his grandfather was," said Maj. Gen. Thompson. Otherwise you actually have to think about a timely replacement.
Harry, who himself served alongside Marines in Afghanistan, took over the post of Captain General in 2017 from Prince Philip (99). He had previously held the post for a full 64 years.
