Now it is simply not the done thing to refuse a medal (ironically bestowed by the Vice Regal) from a loyal Commonwealth member. Who would want to be a Walt when you are Prince of Wales, married to Camilla and have two sons serving in (your) Forces? (some hint of irony)!
Does 'k408ing' a brother officers wife count as "knowing how to behave"
