According to Tom Quinn, Prince Harry didn’t decide to wear the KCVO star by chance. It would be a way of Send a message to King Charles III and Prince William. “Wearing this was Harry’s way of reminding his family that his grandmother appreciated his contribution, even if his father and brother did not. Wearing the medal was also Harry’s way of emphasizing that he is not the bad boy portrayed by his father and brother.” explained the royal author.
