Service aside..
Genstabler, ouch! I will take that on the chin but yes - a real job. Why not? Why not something away from the Royal Court, from the military, from London?
It is possible.
How many subjects have they? 60 million+ different people who don't read prune or get the military or the elites way of life... Just may be more relevant you know.
Do them good. Go out in anytown Wetherspoons instead of Annabels.

I would have thought that Harry would have had plenty of exposure
to the hoi polloi as you call them as a Cav officer in command of a
Armoured vehicle.
One thing that is interesting is the photos and watching the videos of both of them when others are around, as opposed to Prince Charles. This applies to both in uniform and civvies.
Just from the body language, people are much more relaxed around the William and Harry than Prince Charles.

They dont have any subjects, in point of fact. HM has some but not that many. Here's how it works
On 1 January 1983, upon the coming into force of the British Nationality Act 1981, every Citizen of the United Kingdom and Colonies became either a British Citizen, British Dependent Territories Citizen or British Overseas Citizen.
Use of the term British subject was discontinued for all persons who fell into these categories, or who had a national citizenship of any other part of the Commonwealth. The category of British subjects now includes only those people formerly known as British subjects without citizenship and people born in Ireland before 1949

[QUOTE]I just wish they would get out with the hoi polloi a bit/QUOTE]
What a strange remark. As officers in, respectively, the RAF and the Army, do you really think that the Princes don't have any contact with the "hoi poloi" as you call them? I know you were in the RN, if indeed you were in the Forces at all, but you show a very twisted perception of the other Services. But then it is the Royals themselves that you have a real problem with, isn't it, as you have revealed in other threads?

No matter the title....I bet the Inland Revenue folks will lay claim to all your Dosh.

"I just wish they would get out with the hoi polloi a bit"
The son & 'eir to the HH Estates used to drink in the Guildford/Woking/Reading area - he said they'd often come across the two lads (normally separately) in various bars - some quite astonishingly common student type places.
No-one blabbed, no-one took pics, no-one bothered them

'He would often reach the meeting point before the rest of his men and would build these incredibly lavish, castellated latrines, with battlements and loo roll holders. It must have taken him 40 minutes at least to build, they were just fabulous. I would often sit on the latrine thinking "this is a royal flush in every way!"
'Harry also massively helped me out when I was struggling with my skis at first. He was a great guy.'
His teammate Duncan Slater added: ‘Harry was a real team player. There was always something to do and he was always instigating it. There were so many wind ups. He probably spread himself quite thin. He would spend time with each team every day. He was always making sure he mixed, bringing everyone to the fore. It was very nice as he was as tired as everybody."
Quotes from some of the Walking Wounded hoi polloi who accompanied Harry on the recent trek to the South Pole.

You beat me to it. I had just read that article and was going to post the same quotes.
You left out the quote about him telling some of the crudest jokes of the trip

Wasting your time trying to convince Hangarshuffle with facts Genstabler, you are up against a pre-conceived mind-set, not a fact founded belief.

And the odd pub in and around Shawbury saw them too.
(for the cognoscenti, the Fox of course, not the Ellie!)
Harry certainly turned to with pots and brushes when his Course did their community-engagement-paint-a-local-nursery-school bit as well. Some very flushed faces (and probably less visible body parts) amongst the teachers too.
