hardeepR Posted September 14, 2022 Share Posted September 14, 2022 Apparantly Andrew is - somehow - still an honorary Vice Admiral. So can wear that uniform (but only with Charles' permission? I'm a bit fuzzy there.) Whereas when Harry withdrew from Royal life all his honory ranks were taken away so in that respect he - like any ex-services - can't wear a uniform anymore.

I'm also not sure censoring someone for making a joke at the expense of fascist sympathisers because some people might misunderstand the joke would be a very good move either. Parody of Nazi's has been around for a while. There's a scene in one of the Bottom live shows where both characters give a Nazi salute when the royal family come on the TV, I'm sure there are plenty of others that don't immediately spring to mind.

Fans will be asked to join a minute’s silence, which will be followed by the National Anthem, God Save The King. Big screens and LED perimeter boards will display tribute images to Her Majesty and flags at the grounds will be flying at half-mast. When the clock turns to 70 minutes, fans will be invited to applaud The Queen’s 70-year reign. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
