yes, I agree.... the red was particularly striking
I thought this was a big snub but I could not remember if there was a fancy RAF uniform in view of the fact it is a post 1916 phenomenon.

Time to restore the Italian monarchy!
^ He chose the Irish Guards uniform because his highest rank (Colonel) across the three foces is with that unit.
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.
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'.
That doesn't really matter. During ceremony, the Royals don't necessarily opt for the uniform that betokens the highest rank. On the run-up to the wedding there was some confusion as to whether or not who would wear his dress RAF uniform.
According to British newspapers, it does.
