From Top Flying Crab to Cabbage Picker supervisor in 10 weeks
The excuse given a couple of months ago when he junked his RAF career was that he needed more time to fulfil Royal duties, as he took over more work from his elders.
The latest move into agriculture is positioned as enabling him better to run the Duchy of Cornwall's business - which is hardly the same thing.

Personally I think he's a decent bloke who's trying to make the best of the position he's in, let's cut the guy a bit of slack. I'm glad I'm not him. Well...apart from being married to Kate, batting well above his average there and good luck to him.
As to the submariners and indeed all HM forces, we are/were all volunteers. Nobody made us join up. I believe in the submariners case they are volunteers within volunteers. I did the 22 year bit, did as I was told and made the best of what ever situation I was in and to be frank, I get a little pissed at some, I repeat some, of the whining on here. If you don't like it don't do it.

Good words, Dave. One day the man will be King of England and I take my hat off to any man that works so hard to suceed in all he does. Great to have a monarch that has a sound understanding of the armed forces and the UK's agriculture leading the nation. And who knows what he may master next.
Oh, and, yes, the Duchy will need another good pair of hands to run a massive and important concern.
Goodluck to the man and well done.

As to HRH, I say good on him. He's done much more than pay lip service to his RAF duties and I wish him even greater success for the future.
Well, 1inL is assuming more of 0inL's duties and as time passes will end up with the whole lot provided he outlives his mum -- who may well go to 100+
So somebody has to look after the family farm in the meantime
