If so, good call by him, IMO.Originally Posted by JayJay
The Irish Guards are in Afghanistan - and he did wear his RAF 'wings'. I am sure that alot of thought and care went into the decision.
Even better call not to invite Bliar and Garden Broom, who put British forces in Afghanistan - incomprehensible and irresponsible policy.

I don't think so - etiquette hasn't been broken at all, so I don't see how it can be construed as a 'snub'.Originally Posted by ShaneB

Tommy Rot!and he did wear his wings. It takes those born under a monarchy to appreciate these things. Those who have dumped them along the way just don't get it.

Again, to choose a uniform for a position you have solely a ceremonial rank and position in, is a terrible snub to his comrades in both the Household and RAF.Originally Posted by Ich_Dien
You forget the overarching concern: the Irish Guards uniform has lots of shiny gold.

I thought W's was OK ...but H's looked a bit over the top to big for him
The epaulettes looked way big in a Michael Jackson sort of way.

yep, agreed. that's it 'RAF Service Dress' - if say he had worn it, the only way he could have made up for non-glitz, is by wearing the Officers Mess Dress in the evening
my daddy was in the RAF, and he agrees with me that Wills was better off in the Guards uniform

Isn't his entire existence in life based on a ceremonial rank and position?

HA!
They both look like morons, in my honest opinion, but the younger one at least had the sense not to show up with his signature armband.
I don't mean to be too harsh. I certainly wouldn't want to be either of them. Most people only have to worry about making their parents happy. I can't imagine disappointing a whole empire.
