RACooper, William isn't in the military is he?
I think Harry should be treated as any other soldier. Better for him to make his career in the military than to be a "useless" royal who just lives off the name Windsor.

If I remember correctly, their uncle, Prince Andrew, commandeered a fighter helicopter during the Falkland Island War. He was in several of the battles.

He had to be a pretty brave guy. He was married to Fergie...
Just kidding.

Sarah Ferguson is actually a very nice woman who has done a lot of good charity work in the UK. Most of the royals have pokers shoved up their arses.

Really? I thought it was a semi-big deal that he wasn't interested in the military. Is Sandhurst basically an officer academy?

I think so, and yeah, Will is going to Sandhurst now that he's graduated uni. Needs to do something with his life.

The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst is the officer training school for the British Army. Unlike our service academies, which combines military training with a college education, Sandhurst students have already graduated from a college or university. The Royal Air Force's equivalent to Sandhurst is RAF Cranwell.
Both 'Lef-tenants' Wales are Sandhurst grads.

Thanks for the info. It's just that you hear a lot about Harry being in the military and nothing about William being there.

Yes... and he had to be official ordered by the Queen not to go to Canada when the Canadian Airborne was being disbanded - he was the honourary Colonel and dearly loved the Regiment (and they him), and participated in some training and a number of jumps. There are rumours that he fired off a nasty phone call or too directed at the PM - and while that may or may not be true he did in fact he gave the PM quite the earful when next he was in the UK...
