Question A very modern 'major general'?



Recent photo of Prince Henry
The Duke of Kent looks really happy to attend this event. However, I think that he needs to go back to basic officer training to learn how to tie his tie and to salute properly. He should have been airbrushed out of the picture.
What military regulation enables Prince Henry to wear a full beard whilst in RAF uniform?
What are the shoulder titles that he is wearing on that uniform? RAF Regiment?
Why does he wear a sword belt sans sword, scabbard and scabbard slings?
Why does he wear army wings on his ceremonial RAF uniform?
