But it doesn't for those who wish to believe this sort of thing. They will metaphorically tap the side of their nose and say 'Ah, but he was given the wings to make it look like he qualified as a pilot, when he actually got them for show because he's a prince.'
The same thing happened when he did his first tour in Afghanistan - suggestions that while it was claimed that he was a Forward Air Controller, he had - in fact - had to send his laundry forward; that he'd been in a tank [sic] surrounded by massed armour to ensure that his tank [sic] wasn't hit by anything; that he was protected by SAS bodyguards (whose number exceeded that of the ration strength of the regiment in one version of this claim).
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Ms Dent Coad, or a supporter of her views, isn't on the Jeremy Vine show repeating this guff at some point in the next day or so, with a recently-retired senior officer being invited on to explain why it's utter tosh being regularly interrupted by Vine to create the impression that the senior officer is part of the conspiracy...
