MOSTAFA: I do have a certain sympathy with your POV, my particular bugbear is seeing the rows of medals on the uniform of the Earl of Wessex whose sole military experience was not completing Lympstone. He should take a lesson on earning them from his father.
In all fairness, these are not military awards, consisting of KG, GCVO and SOM (Saskatchewan Order of Merit), together with the 1977, 2002 and 2012 Jubilee medals, the 1993 New Zealand Commemorative Medal and the 2005 Saskatchewan Centennial Medal.
I suppose you could quibble about the two Canadian medals which I assume he has by dint of his appointment as Honorary Colonel in Chief of the Saskatchewan Dragoons, but the rest are par for the course for any senior member of the Royal Family, whether or not they have seen military service.
I've always had a sneaking regard for Flight Lieutenant Jerry Rawlings, former President of Ghana, who always resisted the temptation to promote himself to Air Chief Marshal Rawlings!
