One advantage to much of European Royalty, is that such service has been expected for a long long time, and with the nuts shown by their ancestors, recent and classic, they have a pedigree of direct service that should make this less shocking. In summary, pooh pooh on those who think that spoiled little rich kids don't have sense of service.

Nice to have a reminder that the Royals are more than the one-sided idlers that the media often portray.

I should be fair, I'm only teasing. I'm sure Harry's paternity is known - as I said, Charles is very close to him - and he does resemble Prince Andrew a bit. Decided I had no business sullying the rep of a good young man. My bad.
