So what kind of King will Charles be?

[Anonymous]

Im curious as to when he’ll revoke Beatrice and Eugenia’s titles. I also wonder when he’ll kick the Duke of Gloucester, Prince and Princes Michael of Kent, and others out of their housing.

(As an aside, if Diana were posting on the DCUM relationship forum, people would definitely tell her that her DH was on the spectrum.)

But they say that to everyone posting on DCUM.

They also would have laughed at her for thinking her husband should share any of his inheritance with her and told her to get a real job. Not to mention why she would have not 1 but 2 babies with a husband like that. There would be no sympathy.

He will do none of those things. In regards to Beatrice and Eugenie (the correct name) he literally cannot. They are princesses by birth, born the grandchildren of a sovreign through the male line.

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.

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.

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

Look, everyone can read between the lines. There was no earthly reason for him to release that statement other than to have the last word in the conversation of why he isn't allowed to wear a uniform. It was especially weird how the statement said let's keep our focus on the funeral - ok then, why did you have to say anything at all? no one was talking about you until your stupid statement? It's the petulance and the stomping of the feet.

Bingo!

DP. Just as a side comment, the other people PP mentions - Duke of Gloucester, Duke of Kent - are also princes by birth. They are also grandsons of a monarch (George V). Their titles won’t be revoked either, although they probably will be kicked out of their housing.

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.

In the UK it does. I don’t make the rules, but they didn’t change them just to punish Harry. If you have an honorary title OR are active duty, you wear it, otherwise you don’t. Since forever.

But they let Andrew wear them... against the rules. He is not a working Royal.

Andrew was allowed to wear the uniform once across five memorial events, as a sign of his closeness with his mother.

BRF prefers Andrew over Harry bc Andrew never crapped on the family.

Andrew never crapped on the family? He raped children and had his military honors stripped. Harry gave them up with no scandalous crimes.

Doubt it. References to "slimming down the monarchy" are largely forwardly looking. Charles has no interest in displacing a bunch of octogenarians who are near death anyway to vacate housing that no one is in need of.

+1. He will not undo what has been done with regard to current titles. Perhaps they are waiting to see what is in Harry’s memoir and Meghan’s upcoming podcasts.

He absolutely will get rid and of the housing for the moocher royals. He’ll keep Edward and Sophie as working royals until he doesn’t need them. Sophie was working hard to get close to the queen to get something better for her kids but she can kiss that notion bye bye.

Charles is not generous and will get rid of as many as he can.

and they love to make a big deal out of Pedo Uncle's military service which is a bunch of hyped up horse hockey.

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?

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

Harry publicly acknowledged that he was never in danger because it wouldn't be fair to his unit because it would make them all a target. I'm sure Andrew had similar protections.

There are significant minorities wi th in commonwealth governments that want to stay. Also, many are grateful Britain was a far better colonial power than most and did a good job investing in infrastructure and democracy.

It is not that commonwealth citizens want nothing to do with them - many of us want to retain the cultural ties but in a grown up type way - we have grown up and left home but still want to come and visit for a cup of tea and scones.

Nah …. Obviously he did have to say some thing. There were many fake news stories that he was up in arms about this when he was not.

Quite a bit of delusional white washing…….
