"“This is nice,” he said, smoothing down the ribbon of his medal. “Thanks very much, Captain John.
“I was one year old when you danced with my mum. As you’ve told everybody here and continue to dine out on that probably every single night.”"

The Mail (other media) will have gone to him, he's their go to for all things Navy, just as Col Richard Kemp is the rent-a-quote for all things Army. Both of them are old enough to know better really.

Both, I believe, and his PR people not giving good advice because while he is accepting Mickey Mouse badges, his family here in UK are having a rough time with health problems.

Reminds me of the oscars and other events.
”Let’s get together, spend tons of money, play dress up and give ourselves awards!”

But surely the Oscars are awards FOR playing dress-up......
