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.

Edward was never active duty. He dropped out of basic training.

Way to miss the point. It’s only the honorary titles that matter and whether they still have them or not.

Active duty should count for something, especially if you didn’t disgrace the uniform.

It doesn't. When you leave the military before full retirement age you don't get to keep wearing the uniform. Hence why they need honorary titles to do so. You can argue all you want about what you personally would like the rules to be. But this is what the rules are.

Charles is petty.

Removing the ER from Harry’s uniform while leaving it intact for pedophile Andrew is a petty act.

It’s just shows the monarchy needs to be disbanded. I’m Canadian and while I could get behind being part of the Commonwealth while the Queen was alive, I want nothing to do with a group that elevates a child molester over a son who actually served in the military honorably. It disgusts me. I hope these pedophile-protecting grifters get cut loose soon.

How so?

The sons seem way more emotionally intelligent, socially skilled and articulate to me in what ways do you think they they lack intelligence and competence?

Charles is better educated, more intelligent, hardworking and shrewd businessman than his sons. You are right that he has little self awareness, but he is basically the poster boy for complex childhood trauma and attachment issues. There is a picture of his parents returning from an extended tour shaking little Charles hand, as the queen then goes on to embraces her mother. Heartbreaking and humiliating for a young boy to experience.

I think he will be an eccentric king and will do things his way.

Ok thanks … so much of the lead royal job seems to be pageantry PR, social skills and appealing character - William definitely seems better suited to it EQ wise.

To your point though, capacity for intellectual intelligence is allegedly passed down through the mother (according to science I have read). I wonder whether Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was markedly more intelligent than Princess Diana? That would be a wonder given royal inbreeding….

Diana was intelligent?

I thought she had some kind of undiagnosed learning disorder and that's why she didn't do great in school???

Much more is known about learning differences these days - they often come with great strengths outside the classroom (creativity, lateral thinking, out of the box problem solving but also greater difficulties with emotional regulation/ anxiety and depression). I think we saw that with Diana / highly sensitive but also gifted with connecting with people in deeply human ways).

The Diana worship on this board is so odd. I think she seemed like a really nice person and also one who genuinely liked and got along with kids and had good fashion sense. I feel like the first of those two describes at least half of the women I know. The fact that it was relatively unique in British royals is what is striking. She was not smart and had bad judgment in a lot of ways. That’s okay.

DP. Is it Diana worship to suggest that the Queen who Jackie O basically described as dumb isn’t any smarter than she was? I just see two dumb ladies but one that grew up in a loving home.

Are we really using Jackie O as the arbiter of who is dumb?

I mean we’re using anonymous posters as the arbiter of Diana being dumb. I personally think Camilla, QEII, and Diana are poorly educated and not too bright. But it’s weird how Diana is the only one to be called out about it.

I don’t know about poorly educated, but Camilla is reported to be very bright and charismatic, and a good conversationalist. She also comes from a heritage of royal mistresses. There’s a reason Charles fell in love with her and stayed in love with her.

Yes exactly - quoting Jackie O declaring QEII as “dumb” is as convincing as a MS playground taunt. Did she lack the finesse to realize part of QEII’s role was to not to be overly chummy and chatty ?

Also I doubt any of these women are low IQ. They all handled tremendous pressure and scrutiny by the press and media for prolonged periods with Grace..

It is one thing to be an anti monarchist if you have sound reasons. But there is no need to disparage the intelligence of royal women while doing so.

Please they have a huge staff and all their interaction with anyone is totally controlled and managed. You could have an IQ of 50 and do that job.

Speak for yourself - I couldn’t do their job and I tested in the highly superior IQ range when younger. There are different forms of intelligence. If I had any of their positions, I would likely become highly irritated then depressed by the relentless media scrutiny and endless criticism about my appearance and gestures of good will. I doubt that I could maintain a good balance of honoring tradition and adapting to changing times. I would want to use my position to do good in the world but probably go about in a heavy handed way that would make me come off as being even more of a pompous twit than Charles does. I would possibly hasten the demise of the British monarchy even faster than Charles, if I had one of the senior royal women gigs. 👑👸🌪

If William became king, could you get behind the monarchy again?

+1 Once Fergie spilled about the incessant strict rules, I thought wow I would be terrible at this. Lots of broken-hearted royal men that day

Another Canadian here and I agree.

DP but also Canadian. It will depend on how much things change, if at all. Right now they are an outdated bunch holding on to ridiculous traditions (the whole curtsy thing is gag worthy) while they protect a pedophile.

I have no hope that Charles will change anything.

NP. Not me. He’d be worse than his father. Turn up Charles’s petty and add “incandescent rage,” a term used by all the stories about William that are supposed to sound sympathetic. Anne or Harry would be an improvement, but alas that’s not how a monarchy works.

I’m the Canadian PP and no. I’m done. I dislike William perhaps even more than Charles and that’s saying something. I want Canada to be done with these grifters.
