I wasn't aware that Andrew had military service. Can you tell us about it?

dp I'm sorry but, I'm sure you know how to research and look up answers to your basic questions, don't you?

I am very much aware of Andrew's military service. I just hadn't heard about his service as described by the poster as "a bunch of hyped up horse hockey." I tried to research that and could not find it. That's why I turned to the source material. Isn't that what a good researcher does?

Yeah, apparently he was keeping his temper in check to keep his mom off of his back. She's dead now and his true colors are showing. Yikes.

Eh, my parents of the same age have less ability to manage day to day stresses now as well. I think it’s normal with that age group. Honestly, the stuff that stresses my parents or in laws out is pretty silly so I can see a pen getting to him. Obviously not great behavior befitting a monarch though.

He tried to choke one of his servants years ago. It’s not just age.

I'm starting to think some of you are actually trying not to understand, but here goes one more time.

All the senior royal men (Charles, Andrew, Edward, William, and Harry) were at one time active duty military. They served in varying branches and for varying amounts of time, but none served a full military career all the way until full retirement. All left volunarily at some point. Therefore, NONE OF THEM are entitled to wear military dress uniform based up on their prior service under the UK rules.

However, all senior royal men hold HONORARY military titles as a matter of tradition. This also now has expanded to include Anne. With honorary military titles, you are entitled to wear military dress uniform. Neither Andrew nor Harry are senior working royals any longer - Harry by choice, Andrew not by choice. Regardless, because neither are senior working royals, neither are entitled to wear military dress.

When Harry wore it in March 2020, he had announced his departure, but had not actually departed yet and was still techinically a senior working royal at that moment.

Thank you -- let's hope they grasp this very clear explanation.

Did Andrew actually not serve long enough? He served 22 years.

They others still have active, current honorary military titles. If Harry wanted to stay a working Royal, he too could keep his honorary titles. It has nothing to do with who previously served (which they ALL did.)

How is a working royal a military officer? Honorary titles do not make you a military person.

They do in the UK. As has been pointed out ad nauseum. I am sure that if you contacted your old squadron commander, she could tell you he protocol for wearing uniforms in the United States military.

Looks like he’s firing 100 staffers now that he’s been promoted

He's straight up and idiot.

The British voters who have a legitimate opinion on this -- unlike some former colonial -- have been urging the Queen to reduce staff for decades. She has been quietly doing this as technology has taken over. If you saw the coach load of Prince Philip's staffers arrive for his memorial, you would see that most were quite old. A lot of the loyal staffers to Prince Philip and the Queen were hanging on until they died. Many people were be retired while many more will be made redundant. That is what the British people want. Everyone has been urging Charles to cut back on the royals, and he is doing it. The British are also in a serious economic time as winter approaches and heating bills will rise because of the war in the Ukraine. On this board, people have been calling for Charles to cut back and now that the does, you call him an idiot. He's is not the idiot.

Andrew was a helicopter pilot in the Falklands war as was Harry in Afghanistan.

I more or less most of that. Yes neither Harry nor Andrew are working senior royals. The optics are not good to let his brother accused of sexually assaulting a teenager provided by his friends who were both charged with teen sex trafficking to wear the uniform - but not Harry. Harry’s statement is seeking to stay above the fray, and to keep attention focussed on respecting the memory management of his beloved grandmother. Good for him.

But it makes me Question Charles’ judgment and common sense, which his mother had in spades. She very sensibly had everyone wear suits at her husbands funeral. I think that would have been wiser in this case as well.

Trimming staff is fine, but the timing is not great. It's especially awkward that people are trying to excuse any of CIIIPO's behavior by saying he's grieving while also saying, "Look, he's got to fire people right now! Don't be sentimental!"

It's certainly better than Elizabeth cutting staff pay because times were hard during the peak COVID times.

There were headlines claiming that Harry had released a "furious" statement boasting of his military career... the way the media spins things about him is seriously sickening

Anyone who has had to lay off long time employees knows that timing is really important. This was a bad move as was the Harry uniform thing.

This is all similar to the horrible photo op f William and Kate in the car and kids with hands through the chain link fence tour. Yes it can be explained by protocol but that doesn’t matter.. It looked horrible and one your only job to keep up the myth of the monarchy you’ve failed pretty miserably.

It should have come to no surprise to anyone at Clarence House that Charles and Camilla were leaving for BP.
