re: #62 Nojay UK

The male-line Royals have spent time in uniform and quite often been on the front line for well over a century now. King George VI enlisted in the Royal Navy as a midshipman at age 13 and he was a turret officer on board HMS Collingwood in the Battle of Jutland in 1916. Prince Andrew flew helicopters during the Falklands War, acting as an anti-shipping missile decoy at times. Phil the Greek was in action during WWII in the Med in the Royal Navy, being mentioned in dispatches for his service on board the battleship HMS Valiant during the Battle of Cape Matapan (a night action, RN battleships with radar versus Italian heavy cruisers without radar. So one-sided it was almost embarrassing.)

Even Charlie reached the position of Captain of one of his Mum’s ships, a minesweeper, for a couple of years before he quit the Royal Navy to take up his Royal duties as Prince of Wales and heir.

Don’t forget Harry, twice deploying to Afghanistan. First on the ground as a Forward Air Controller, then as a gunner/copilot for Apaches
William, while not being allowed to deploy has provided honourable (added the ‘u’ because :D ) service, flying Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter, and later for a civilian air ambulance service.
