Prince William officially took over the role in May 2024 when King Charles, 76, handed it down to him at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop.<\/p>\n

However, he had yet to travel to the 4 Regiment Army Air Corps after his father passed down the title.<\/p>\n

After his trip, the future king took to Instagram<\/a> to thank the soldiers for their time and service.<\/p>\n

“Proud to visit the Army Air Corps as its Colonel-in-Chief. Great to spend time with the soldiers and their families here at Wattisham Air Base,” Prince William captioned his update. “Thank you for the warm welcome and heartening to see the strength of the regiment\u2019s community.”<\/p>\n

The husband of Kate Middleton<\/a><\/strong> and father of three continued, “Very impressed by the relentless commitment, physical capability and mental acuity on display at the combat PT session. An excellent reflection of the Army Air Corps\u2019 readiness and professionalism!”<\/p>\n

To conclude his update, Prince William wrote, “A huge thank you to the soldiers and families of the AAC for the warm welcome\u2014and for everything you do.”<\/p>\n

In February 2024, King Charles announced his cancer diagnosis. Prince William and other members of the royal family<\/a> have stepped up to take on more responsibilities<\/a> as the reigning monarch continues treatment.<\/p>\n

Prince William and Middleton’s son, Prince George<\/a><\/strong>, 11, is the next heir to the throne after his father. His siblings, Princess Charlotte<\/a><\/strong>, 10, and Prince Louis<\/a><\/strong>, 7, follow him in the line of succession.<\/p>\n

After that, the line jumps to William’s brother, Prince Harry<\/strong>, and his children, Prince Archie<\/strong>, 6, and Princess Lilibet<\/strong>, 4.<\/p>\n
