@MoveMore Its amusing no one questions why Anne is wearing the full get up (and I believe outranks her brothers except Charles). Everyone seems on board with her being in uniform.

I questioned this the other day and nobody seemed to have an answer.

She’s a working royal with honorary titles in the armed forces. She’s not pretending she ever served.

Is it any wonder Harry left ? Why would you want a life like this? What a shower of crap. I hope he goes back to America and lives a happy life free from all of this nonsense.

Most of us really (really) do hope he goes back to America and lives a happy life. The ball’s always been in his court to do this, but he just seems to prefer to create drama with his interviews and book writing and pontificating.

It's all a load of bollocks really, we know it, they know it, Harry definitely knows it. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I know that and I’m not questioning her I’m wondering why those that question Edward Charles and William particular are not also questioning Anne. I think they are all working royals performing honorary duties regarding military roles and should therefore wear the associated uniform when appropriate. Andrew is entitled to wear due to rank her retired at but is a vile disgrace so should rightly be banned. Harry quit the military at too low a rank to enable him to keep wearing and then he quit his royal duties so could no longer keep the honorary titles and is therefore not allowed to wear a uniform (just like any other individual that left at his rank). Not really difficult to follow once explained to me. So not sure why such a fuss is always made.

@oakleaffy And they sometimes get stories right.

Many of the other major news outlets are reporting it now.

elizaregina · 16/09/2022 07:23

Apparently there are complicated rules about uniform and serving.
However it seems rule's are different for Andrew?

I think it's been overturned now.

elizaregina · 16/09/2022 07:30

Personally as direct son of the king...I hope Charles strains every sinew to appease his son.

I hate the way Harry and Andrew are flung together in disgrace.

Harry has done little more than his own parents, who gave interviews, Charles moaned about his parents etc.

Andrew however!! 🙄

Inkanta · 16/09/2022 07:48

Yes I think Harry has the most military bearing of anyone in the picture.

I’m glad Harry gets to wear his.
Andrew is an utter disgrace.

Dunno why she is wearing it - but she absolutely rocks it. It must also be far more comfortable than wearing girl clothes and heels.

The Sun (sorry) has a list of her military appointments and honours

Carol Vorderman is an Honorary Gp Capt as an Ambassador for the Air Cadets & prances around in the uniform like it's a themed stripper outfit so it's not just the Royal Family that get to play dress up in Military Uniform!

😂

Because he shat the nest.

Why not blame Harry who has been part of the RF his whole life that it's a breach of protocol to hold hands? I guess he'll tell you there's no such protocol and this is another made of rule to castigate his wife.
He'll tell you that his wife has been suicidal since they went public and he will protect his love. Watch his interview "The Me You Don't See".

If you don't have a man handsome brave young prince who will leave the comfort, wealth and prestige of the BRF for you don't hate a beautiful intelligent hard working mixed race woman for it!

They did not hold hands in the procession. They held hands afterwards.

Whatafustercluck · 16/09/2022 13:38

Is an honorary title a bit like an unearned masters from the University of Cambridge?

If Harry can't wear the uniform, I'd love to see him wear civvies and any medals he's properly earned, just to shine a light on the hypocrisy. Or can't he wear them either?

To be honest, the staggering double standards applied to various royals is becoming ever more apparent. Sex offenders welcome. Just don't marry the wrong woman. Hell, you'll be called disrespectful for holding hands in public but when someone else in the same family does exactly the same, well.... shhhh, nobody says a thing. Crazy.

antelopevalley · 16/09/2022 13:46

@Whatafustercluck There are members of the family who are in and can do no wrong. And members who are out and get attacked for anything. There is no real rhyme or reason.
