Could it be that Harry has declined to join Kent's merry band of fellows with the funny handshakes?
Would that be the merry band of fellows who gave away over £20 million to charities with no masonic connection last year? That sum includes the £2m raised by London Freemasons to purchase a new helicopter for London Air Ambulance. I would have thought that as a former helicopter pilot Harry would have rather approved, especially as he is also into charitable giving.
When I was a rockape the depot was at Catterick and although the station commander was referred to as the commandant there was no such post as Honorary Air Commandant, the appointment currently held by Prince Harry.
At the time the position of Commandant General of the RAF Regiment was normally held by a two star GD officer, the most senior regiment officer being an air commodore. In my time I remember the CG was AVM Bernard Chacksfield, who was a GD (P) and he certainly wore regiment flashes.
