[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought ALL the statements were lovely.  It’s not a contest.[/quote]

The statements were lovely, but Harry's sent a very subtle message:  By ending with "Per Mare, Per Terram," the motto of the Royal Marines, was he apologizing to his grandfather for giving up the role of Captain General of the Royal Marines, an honor Philip had for many years?  His Aunt Anne took over that role from Harry when he severed ties with his family.   [/quote]

Apologizing? No. Defiantly claiming his ties to the Royal Marines as the only royal who has served overseas in a warfront? Absolutely.

Well, Prince Philip is a royal who served overseas in a warfront.  Prince Andrew was a helicopter pilot during the Falklands War and while Prince Charles did not serve overseas, he did command a Navy destroyer and flew both helicopters and jets during his military service.

He can defiantly claim his ties to the marines, but he is like any other veteran now.  Princess Anne is the Captain General of the Royal Marines, and another royal will take over from her when she relinquishes the title.

He gave up so much for so little was often said about his Great Uncle [b]David[/b].   May Harry's defiance carry him through that curse.  [/quote]
Edward?[/quote]

King Edward was known as David in his family -- one of his multiple names.[/quote]
