I agree, it doesn't make him look special, surrounded by pomp, everyone will look like a normal family and he won't be able to cry victim.
Also it shows him and Andrew up because of everything that was important to them, to the others it's more important the focus is on Philip not on who bloody wears what.
Interestingly, isn’t their ‘proper’ military service the only thing either of them ever did, meaning the only ‘job’ they get credit for not entirely messing up? Not sure how much either actually did vs. were photo-opted doing (and, also, my understanding is H wasn’t smart enough to fly so he was, at most, co-pilot), but I think both H and A set a massive amount of store by their having seen
real service. William’s ‘doesn’t count’, though given how dangerous helicopters are, what he did was in actuality at least if not more meaningful.
In any case, it would seem their egos will be much more tied up in wearing the uniforms than everyone else’s. Something similar’s been said here already, isn’t it actually major shade that they’re deprived of the
one thing that sets them apart from the others? I saw it as pandering as well, but on reflection, I think it’s the worst outcome for
them, while no one else will probably care much. And, as has also already been said, it may be precisely what Prince Philip wished
.
Nobody can tell what the medals are when they’re on a suit, no ego-boosting opportunity
. The Queen and her team are pros.
