it looks ridiculous is the royal who served in combat is the only one not allowed to wear a uniform

I’m aware of zero countries where the criteria for whether you should wear a uniform is having served in combat. Do you know of any?

most democracies don't really care one way or the other

No. Many countries have protocol regarding which uniforms should be worn (including medals and other regalia) and by whom. It’s usually not a free for all where anything goes.

PP is correct. Even our country has rules regarding wear of the uniform when you are out of service:

e.g., https://www.ar670.com/2018/12/21/wear-of-the-uniform-by-retired-personnel/

+1. But it doesn't really matter in this case because none of them were really in harm's way. I recall that Harry explained that the reason he couldn't be in the middle of the action was because it would make his unit a target and that wouldn't be fair to the other men.

Probably more to do with Randy Andy wanting to dress up as an admiral.
While I think it’s horrible that the Queen should have to deal with stuff like this, good on her for making the best decision possible under undoubtedly trying circumstances.

Haha. I love it.

The uniform thing was about Andrew. He asked to wear an admiral's suit and the outrage was uniform. So he wasn't getting what he wanted and on top of that he/Harry would have been the only royals without active military service not in uniform while the rest of the royals looked like idiots dressed up with 4 weeks in marine training between them.

It is just so funny how this uniform thing is so un-uniform..

Andrew is a discusting POS. Such a poser and have no shame whatsoever!

If it was a Ford and not a Rover it won’t need to be in the shop between now and Saturday.

Wait, without the royal titles and blah de blah Harry is still a veteran - he couldn’t wear a dress uniform just for that?

The U.K. has quite the hilarious rule that actual veterans under the label of Major cannot wear their dress uniforms...ever.

Prince Harry rose to the rank of Captain and the BRF pulled him from service because they knew if he rose one additional level he'd be able to wear his dress uniform in perpetuity. Not to mention outrank William.

Blah de blah PP here - I had no idea, thanks for the info.

That is a VERY poorly done portrait. You DON"T seat the person in such a way that one part of their body looks out of proportion to the rest of the body due to perspective.

Do you see how his hand looks enormous?

No it is NOT enormous, the photographer really F.. ed it up.

You also don't just cut off the foot!!! from the picture and overall his body looks weirdly out of proprtion.

Who took this photo..

not to mention that he should be posed left to right NOT right to left..

this is all so bad...

But at least the guy had the guts to fly there, to sleep there and to collect some dust which you can't say about any other of them?
