He might have been a REMF, but he was still on the ground. I can think of a lot of other royalty who served. Prince Philip was a naval officer, as was King George V before his accession. There were dukes who served in WWII, some of whom were actually killed in action or while serving---George V's youngest brother, IIRC, was one. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor fkew a helicopter in the Falklands. The Brits are more willing to allow their precious progeny to serve than Shitler is.
