#3 Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and the Duke of Edinburgh looked on with pride
makes me wonder about dear old dad while adoring the Muslim lifestyle so much, how he'd see things if say Harry goes to Iraq.
Good for you Harry.

#5 As they say, it skips a generation. Thank God Queen Elizabeth understands that ol' adage.

Charles, you done good ol' boy. You married well and produced a fine son. Your job is done.

#6 Actually, Prince William is also at Sandhurst as an officer cadet since January; Prince Harry is simply graduating earlier (having entered in May 2005).

#7 Hence, I wouldn't call Prince William "dosy" -- assuming that he's like his brother, then Prince Charles sired two good sons.

#9 I give him props sounds like he is determined to become what his Dad never could be
A MAN AND A WORTHY LEADER OF MEN AND NATION.
The Queen is a old school hardcore and it looks she has groomed her heir to be quite well.

#10 Nah, Chuckles went to the Sandcastle too. Ditto Andrew "The Dancing Duke".

The proof, as they say, is in the pudding.

#11 Ditto Andrew "The Dancing Duke".

Prince Andrew seems to have gotten the balls of the family:
In April 2, 1982, the British colony of the Falkland Islands was invaded by Argentina, an event that led to the Falklands War. Prince Andrew's ship, HMS Invincible was one of only two operational aircraft carriers available to the Royal Navy, and as such was to play a major role in the Royal Navy taskforce being assembled to sail south to retake the islands.

At first the British government were apprehensive of allowing Prince Andrew to remain on Invincible, and wished to move him to a desk job. The prospect of the son of the Queen being killed in action was a possibility, and the government wished to avoid such a circumstance. However, the Queen insisted that Prince Andrew be allowed to remain with his ship, and so he joined the Invincible as it sailed south, as a Sea King helicopter co-pilot.

Throughout the conflict Prince Andrew flew on various missions, including Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) and Anti-Surface Warfare search (ASUW), as well as acting as an Exocet missile decoy; a hitherto secret tactic which the Prince inadvertently revealed to journalists after the war. He also helped in casualty evacuation, transport and Search and Air Rescue (SAR). When the conflict ended, and Invincible returned to Portsmouth, the Queen and Prince Philip joined other families of the other crew to welcome the vessel home.

#12 The Royals revenge the princess. We hear he already can't abide non-dancers and muzwats. Beware Mohammad Al Fayed, he'll soon be leading the SAS against your friends and family.... and maybe even your FAT WHINING ARSSS!

#13 For those of you feeling sorry for Harry, ie (being thrown to the wolves); he will be shadowed by two Royal 'uniformed' body guards, with license to kill for so much as sneezing on the Heir, in behalf of the Throne; sorry MI-6!
