Harry didn't pass the test/qualify to be a helo pilot, only co pilot at best. He also never faced troops, spending his time at the front playing vidya games in his protective custody suite. I'll have to look for sources, can barely open my eyes yet this morning. That's why he washed out of the army - he couldn't pass any tests to advance, otherwise he probably would've done the 20 year career track. The man is just too thick.
Andrew actually was on the frontlines in the Falklands, had all his qualifications and as he was the queen's favorite, was much more fretted over during his time at war.

Lmao, so he's unredeemable then.
Andre flew as radar bait for Argentine missiles to shoot at instead of ships, he might have become a pervert, but he was a brave man at that time.

Wait, What Is Meghan’s Last Name?
The Duchess of Sussex caused a stir on “With Love, Meghan” when she said Sussex was her last name. But does that break from royal tradition?In “Romeo and Juliet,” the star-crossed heroine asks: “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose, by any other name would smell as sweet.”
People far less infatuated have wrestled with this concept for hundreds of years: How much should a name signify, and does it actually affect what or who a person is?
Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, would like a word.
In her new Netflix series, “With Love, Meghan,” the duchess, who is married to Prince Harry, told the actress Mindy Kaling that her last name was Sussex, correcting Ms. Kaling, who had referred to her by a more familiar name: Meghan Markle.
“It’s so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle,” Meghan said in the second episode of the series, which premiered last week. “You know I’m Sussex now.”
Meghan cited the importance of sharing a last name with her children.
“I didn’t know how meaningful it would be to me but it just means so much to go, ‘This is our family name, our little family name,’” she said.
Ms. Kaling, who initially seemed surprised, replied, “Well, now I know and I love it.”
It’s understandable that Meghan, whose representatives did not immediately respond to a request for comment, insists on usage of what she feels is the correct form of her name. But as with most Meghan-related news, the clip quickly made waves online as people took to social media to criticize her. Some commenters thought she was being pretentious, and others called her out for seemingly having confused her royal house with the family’s surname.

There was similar confusion over how to refer to the duchess after she and Prince Harry announced in 2020 that they would “step back” from their official royal duties and move to the United States.
Two days after the new series premiered, during an appearance on “The View,” Ms. Kaling said that she had “a great time” on the show, despite critics who felt like Meghan had behaved in a passive aggressive way toward her.
There is still some debate, however, on Meghan’s last name.
“She’s either totally oblivious to what her actual name is, she doesn’t understand it or she’s lying,” Hilary Fordwich, a royal family expert, said in a phone interview.
Ms. Fordwich explained that while it isn’t new for a member of the royal family to choose to go by their birth titles (Prince Harry went by Harry Wales during his time in the British army), that doesn’t make it their family name.
“By established protocol, he can use Harry Sussex, which I’ve never heard him use,” she said.
“She could choose to use Meghan Sussex, but it’s not their surname. This was the issue in that Netflix clip.”
However, Rachel Bowie, the royals editor for the lifestyle website PureWow, didn’t think what Meghan said was problematic at all, adding that it’s “totally within royal protocol” and she didn’t see it as a formal change.
“Even though Archie and Lili were christened ‘Mountbatten-Windsor,’ Harry and Meghan are borrowing Sussex from their title to make up their last name,” Ms. Bowie, who was previously the co-host of the “Royally Obsessed” podcast, said in a phone interview.
“I never read it as Meghan formally changing her name, but more as this symbolic thing for herself, that she feels this connection, between the four of them, that they move through the world under the name Sussex,” she added.
Opinions have continued to roll in, even from relatives of Harry and Meghan.
Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a cousin of King Charles III and a reality television star on “The Traitors,” claimed she had been wrong about her own surname in an interview he gave to Town & Country, saying the family’s surname is Mountbatten-Windsor.
“Her children are called Archie and Lilibet Mountbatten-Windsor; they’re not called Archie and Lilibet Sussex, because Sussex is a title,” he said.
And Thomas Markle, Meghan’s estranged father, complained to the Daily Mail on Saturday about her decision to no longer use the name Markle, despite the fact that it’s still fairly common for a woman to adopt her husband’s name after getting married.
Understanding exactly how to refer to the royal family requires a look at its evolving history regarding names. According to the official website for the British Royal Family, “Members of the Royal Family can be known both by the name of the Royal house, and by a surname, which are not always the same.” It’s uncommon for core members of the Royal Family to be referred to by a surname at all.
Members of the Royal Family had no surname at all before 1917 and were referred to only by the name of the house or dynasty they belonged to. That year, King George V adopted Windsor as the name of the house and surname of his family.
In 1960, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Philip, Harry’s grandparents, altered the name to distinguish their direct descendants from the rest of the extended Royal Family, making their new surname Mountbatten-Windsor, which included Philip’s family name.
“For the most part, members of the Royal Family who are entitled to the style and dignity of HRH Prince or Princess do not need a surname, but if at any time any of them do need a surname (such as upon marriage), that surname is Mountbatten-Windsor,” the site reads, using the abbreviation for His or Her Royal Highness.
Meghan now lives outside that structure, meaning those rules do not necessarily apply to her. So her choice to be referred to as Meghan Sussex, for now, will simply be added to the list of things she’s either criticized or embraced for.

It doesn't matter what she calls herself. It's no different than a tranny insisting that you refer to him as Girly Sue McTotallyRealWoman even though his driver's license still says Brian Rubenstein. Markle is her deadname, nobody's allowed to question her new truth, blah blah validate me blah.

I definitely thought it was strange when she insisted her name is Meghan Sussex but I actually disagree with some opinions, particularly that of Lord Mountbatten-Windsor, regarding whether it is entirely without precedent. I 'll include some examples:
Prince Edward and his wife Sophie Rhys-Jones have forever been known shorthand as "the Wessexes" or Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex; I actually had no idea what her maiden name was until I looked it up right now because I only knew her as Sophie Wessex. I still refer to them as the Wessexes, although I believe they should now be referred to as the Edinburghs in casual discussions since they are now the duke/duchess of Edinburgh which supercedes their count/countess titles.
Harry and William referred to themselves as Harry Wales/William Wales during their schooling since they were the sons of the incumbent Prince of Wales when they were born and while they were in school. Harry was actually born as "Prince Henry of Wales" not Henry Mountbatton-Windsor, and William was born Prince William of Wales as well. William's issue were born Prince George of Cambridge, Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, and Prince Louis of Cambridge as that was their father's highest rank at the time of their birth. Since their father was created Prince of Wales in 2022, William's three children are now George/Charlotte/Louis of Wales. Archie and Lilibet would have been entitled to be born as Archie of Sussex and Lilibet of Sussex at the time of their births, but Harry and Meghan elected to break with tradition at the time and name them Mountbatton-Windsor instead due to their desire to have them grow up as private citizens at the time.
However, it is not clear to me, and seems extremely hypocritical, why Harry and Meghan are now clinging to their duchy titleings and have evidently changed or intend to change the names of their children retroactively to reflect it. Harry and Meghan's titles have not changed so there is no precedent to change the names of their children. I believe this is also part of the reason that they are losing popularity with many people; we common folk seem to feel as though Harry and Meghan are reneging on their decision to be normies and are inexplicably clinging to titles granted by the very institution they turned their backs on.
In short, I do think Meghan is entitled to use the name Meghan Sussex and name her children the same, but it makes her look like a hypocritical asshole and is a weird thing to do retroactively.

This confuses me too and only proves how much of an attention whore she is. She should've just stuck with her deadlastname and maybe Harry could use it as well (Anisa and Ian Jomha, anyone???) if they want to be private citizens soooo badly.

No at the time of their births they were the great=grandchildren of the monarch and were not entitled to prince or princess. If you watch the Oprah interview that was one of Meghan's grievances because the children (and herself) didn't get the suhcurATAY she thought they (she) deserved. Once Charles was king they had the option but not the requirement to become prince/princess. She (and Harry?) forced the conversion to royalty. She's so full of shit it piles up in Harry and brims over. The kids were Master Mountbatten Windsor and Miss Mountbatten Windsor at birth.

Oh sorry, must be reading what I thought you wrote, not what you actually wrote. Of Sussex is so weird though. I have never once seen anything about using Mountbatten Windsor of Sussex.
I can't find a good clear image of his birth announcement.
Here's a text version:
The birth of Archie Harrison
That's an awful rabbit hole to fall into! The surname is clearly established as Mountbatten-Windsor and any use of Sussex is probably only casual and not legal.

On the official royal gov website (archive as of today), both of Harry's kids are designated Prince/Princess of Sussex in the line of succession.

I remember when Andrew was considered the hot one.
His service in the Falklands war, and he was much better looking than Charles was at the time just increased his popularity.
Later I learned what a pompous ass he is, in public and private.

@duckling looking for a better source rn. I can't help but believe he had extra special retard training just like he did for all of his schooling. Not that there is going to be any evidence of that we can find. I need to join the Purse Forum so I can search the thread.
So it appears that he did qualify as a pilot but all references to his actual duties say 'co-pilot gunner.'

thanks for the normie take, but its a lot like the normie take on Yoko Ono, not putting enough of the blame on the men. Prince Harry was always a whiny, anti-social dummy, Spare proved how psychotic he really is, touching his penis while thinking of his mother. constantly walking around in piss stained clothes, if he was a commoner instead of royalty he'd have a thread on here.
It was the work of amazing pr people like ELF that led people to believe a Chris-chan tier guy was actually a lad, like in that Rollin and trollin video Chris made. Harry's "girlfriends" were as real as Chris' galpals.
from what they said over on reddit, she was so annoying that what was originally meant to be a reoccurring for the season just got cut there.

Meghan could have easily had a stable career in TV. her dad was sufficiently connected to open many, many doors. I know this is contentious but I personally think she is beautiful, at least her face is despite the five head (her body shape is fridge on stilts and she has poor choices in foundational garments, but you can dress around that to flatter. One of Meghan’s many issues is wearing clothes that do not flatter her). She also has diversity in her ethnic ambiguity. Her acting in suits wasn’t standout, but it was consistent.
It is incredibly telling that she had bit parts and then was written out of shows like Fringe in short order - she has terrible networking skills and is, reportedly, a total bitch to work with. She had to leave Los Angeles and go to the scene in Toronto to get her TV break. She had to lie about belonging to SAG to get a separate role. She allegedly tormented an assistant on a set until Jennifer Aniston intervened (unconfirmed). She stole aquazarra shoes from a photoshoot for Reitmans. I know it is hard to break into acting but for Meghan with her suitable skills looks, and connected, Emmy-winning father, should have had significantly more roles. Her lack of overall career is, imho, strong evidence to support the claim that she is a terrible person and a massive bully. Her only remaining friend from those days being a MAKEUP ARTIST, somebody whose career success more or less requires simping to giant egos, is extremely telling.
