Harry successfully returned to the UK. This was the first time he was photographed after arriving in the UK. He finally changed out of the white shirt in front of the public camera and expressed his current mood with a dark casual shirt, but the overall feeling was nothing like before. Changes, and even a relaxed smile on his face, which is in great contrast to the expressions at Princess Diana's funeral and Charles' wedding. He is probably the only member of the royal family who is so relaxed and happy. Sending the prince off on his last journey

Although there are wealthy friends who are happy to help, Harry still did not choose to take a private jet. According to regulations, Harry originally needed to be quarantined for 10 days, but he could use the exemption clause. However, Prince Charles, William, and Edward would wear military uniforms to see the prince off on his final journey. Attend Philip's funeral

However, Kate's three little ones may not be able to attend Philip's funeral because they are too young, and the situation now is quite special.

However, William and Kate have already expressed their condolences for the death of the old man. In order to pay tribute to Prince Philip, Kensington Palace also released a photo that has never been published before. The prince drove a carriage, and George, who was more than 2 years old at the time, sat in the carriage. Around the prince, the picture is quite harmonious. Become the US Ambassador to Australia?

The new position he will take as ambassador to Australia has actually been waiting for him to step down to take over. As early as June last year, it was reported that he would take up this position after his three-year term as commander of the Pacific Command expires.

As a Japanese-born admiral and commander of the Pacific Command, Harry Harris serves as the U.S. ambassador to Australia. It cannot but be said that this is a signal that the United States attaches great importance to strengthening the U.S.-Japan-Australia alliance. As for Australia, it finally has "one of the highest-level ambassadors in history". The media cheered and felt that it was valued by the United States.

However, we can also think conversely that Harris had no chance to be promoted to Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the Obama administration, and there was also no chance to rise to similar high positions in other departments in the Trump administration. In other words, Harris has received a certain amount of attention in both administrations. This is due to his eagle color and his representativeness. But because of this, he often violates the basic tone of the Ministry of Defense because he is too insistent on his own opinions, making it difficult to enter the inner circle.

For Harris personally, this is tantamount to announcing that he has quit the military. If he still has ambitions, he can only switch to politics. Since there is no hope of being promoted to Chairman or Vice Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, he can either announce his complete retirement; or wait and see after retirement to see if other opportunities will come; or actively seek other political options.

However, it seems that Harris is quite good at mingling in both the military and political circles of the United States. In the end, serving as the Australian ambassador is not a bad result, but objectively speaking, it can only be said to be a "low job". It's just acceptable. Because from a political point of view, the Australian ambassador is a relatively important position. And this may be regarded as a reward and reward obtained by the hawkish forces in the United States, giving him a good platform to enter the political arena and look for opportunities to rise.

In fact, the news of his whereabouts came out early, probably because people who don’t like him hope to block his other ways, but also allow him to leave the military without being disgraceful; and after such After a long time, I am afraid that he has not actually found a better upward channel; therefore, he can only accept such a position with a large room for change.

We should also note that Harris previously served as commander of the U.S. Pacific Command and should not be confused with the commander of the Pacific Fleet. The Commander of the Pacific Fleet is under the management of the Commander of the Pacific Command.

Judging from their public remarks, Harris and Swift, the former Pacific Fleet commander who is about to announce his retirement and is a more moderate advocate of cooperation, seem to have quite different opinions. Swift, who has visited China many times before and has always sounded moderate and rational, was once considered to take over as commander of the Pacific Command.

However, the U.S. Department of Defense said on the 9th that President Trump has nominated Vice Adm. John Aquilino to serve as commander of the Pacific Fleet to replace the current commander Swift. Swift could only announce his retirement before then, on the grounds that there was no hope of succeeding Harris as commander of the U.S. Pacific Command. From this we can see that there is also a struggle between two factions of opinions in the U.S. military, and in the end a compromise result was achieved.
