The beginning of this month marked an important development for the British royal family.
Prince Harry landed in London to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, and during his stay in his home country, his brother, Prince William, received a significant new honour from King Charles. The timing seemed coincidental, but yet, many saw it as a major snub to Prince Harry.
The announcement from the Palace revealed that King Charles III has appointed Prince William as the colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps.
“His Majesty the King will officially hand over the role of Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales,” the palace’s statement read. “In August 2023, following His Majesty’s Accession, the King was pleased to announce military appointments including that the Prince of Wales would become Colonel-in-Chief of the Army Air Corps. The role was previously held by His Majesty the King, as Prince of Wales, for 31 years.”
William’s new role places him in charge of Harry’s former unit. In 2008, Harry completed his Army Air Corps “Grading” and Pilot’s Selection Board interview, subsequently training as an Army Air Corps pilot in 2009.
“On successful completion of that Army Pilots Course, Prince Harry was selected to train on the Apache Attack Helicopter,” Harry’s official biography before he was removed from the official royal family website read. “On the same day, it was announced that Prince Harry received his provisional wings from his father.” Charles was colonel-in-chief of the Army Air Corps at the time, making the ceremony extra meaningful for Harry.
The unveiling of Prince William’s new designation emerges during a period of increased public curiosity, partly influenced by the tense rapport between Prince Harry and his father. Speculation surrounding the nature of their exchanges, or the lack thereof, during Prince Harry’s recent trip to the U.K. underscores the intricacies of royal relationships.
During Harry’s most recent visit, he and his father, King Charles, didn’t meet due to the king’s “full programme.”
However, the statement by Prince Harry added that he “hopes to see him soon.”
Despite the strained relationships with the members of the Firm, Harry expressed his happiness about returning to the UK. Regarding the party, he described it as “amazing” and commended the work of Scotty’s, emphasizing the incredible and necessary support they provide to children.
“The more opportunity you get to do these kinds of events, the more the families and kids know this place exists which is really the most important thing,” Harry said, as reported by BBC.

Meet Jyoti, Who, at the Age of 30 and Standing at 63 cm Tall, Successfully Made Her Mark in Hollywood
Jyoti Amge grew up like any ordinary child, but at some point, her growth stopped. Now 30 years old, she stands at 63 cm tall. Jyoti earned the title of the world’s smallest woman and later ventured into Hollywood, proving to everyone that a diminutive stature is not a hindrance on the path to one’s dreams.
Her childhood
On December 16, 1993, Jyoti Kisanji Amge was born in Maharashtra, India. Jyoti’s mother, Ranjana, claims that she was a normal size at birth and in her early years of childhood. Jyoti’s growth actually stopped when she turned 5 and hasn’t changed since — aside from that, she’s continued to attend school with her average-sized peers.
“She learned to walk on time, her teeth grew in on time, she learned to feed herself on time, she was a regular child for a while,” explained her mother,
Jyoti has never thought of her size as an obstacle, thanks to her family’s unwavering support. Whenever they are together, her family commonly carries her around, so she can see the world from their point of view. In fact, despite the difficulties that came with persisting in her education, her sister used to carry her around college, and that helped Jyoti finish her studies and graduate.
But Jyoti hasn’t always felt this way about her condition. “When she was not this famous, people used to tease her and make fun of her. She used to feel very dejected then,” her father spoke up. Jyoti’s perseverance and zeal mainly stem from her family, who have always backed her and supported her to continue on.
The small size of Jyoti Amge prevents her from doing most things independently. “’I can’t go anywhere by my own choice,” said Amge, who relies on family members to assist her in daily tasks. “I can’t turn on the tap, can’t open the door, can’t go to the bathroom unless someone takes me, and every time I go out, I have to be carried,” she added.
Fortunately, her condition doesn’t severely restrict her mobility or lifestyle, allowing her to lead as normal a life as possible.
The cause of her stunted growth
“Doctors think the reason behind my height not increasing is a deficiency of growth hormones.” Her condition was later determined to be caused by achondroplasia, a type of dwarfism that prevents her from growing taller than a certain height.
A Guinness World Record girl
“She may be the shortest living woman, but Jyoti Amge is one of the biggest personalities we have in the Guinness World Records universe.” Jyoti officially became the shortest woman alive (mobile) after turning 18, and achieving this record has improved her self-esteem. She has said, “I feel well-liked, special, and important.”
“Measured by a doctor, she was just 61.95 cm (2 ft) tall, confirming her as the shortest living teenager (female). Remarkably, at just 5.4 kg, she weighed only 4 kg more than her birth weight,” the Guinness World Records claimed. Everything she uses or wears, like her accessories, cutlery, and plates, needs to be customized for her. Jyoti, on the other hand, puts a lot of effort into making the most of each situation and her exceptional stature.
In 2012, Jyoti Amge met the World’s Tallest Man, Sultan Kosen, and she posed with him for the 57th edition of the Guinness World Records.
“When I met the world’s tallest man, I was a little shocked,” she claimed in an interview, “I was thinking how can be someone so tall, and he was astonished to see me as well, but we are now very good friends.”
Her success and her acting dream

Her success and her acting dream
Although GWR’s recognition was crucial in helping her achieve success abroad, Jyoti has been making more efforts to realize her dreams and disprove those who think a girl of her stature can’t succeed in life.
Besides pursuing her career, Jyoti hopes to be a role model for anyone who lacks self-confidence. She hopes to inspire others to not let their differences impede their life plans. “To people like me: if you keep trying, you will definitely achieve all of your dreams.”
Here is the story of the tallest woman in the world, with a height of 215 cm. Despite the challenges that her height presents, she remains undaunted and lives her best life.
