The british royal family is the laziest bunch of people I know. They don't hold real jobs and they sponge off tax payers donations. That's ridiculous! Look at that funny looking queen they have, or that skirt-wearing princess for a 'crown prince' they have just ridiculous. They are lazy, stupid, and ugly as hell.

So what are Prince Charles's 31 medals for?Apr 22nd, 2008 - 10:27:21


Prince Charles has risen to four star rank in the armed services, but what are all his medals for?

The Prince of Wales has just turned 58, an occasion marked by rising to four-star rank in each of the armed services - a general in the Army, admiral in the Navy and air chief marshall in the RAF, further adding to the breast-full of medals he wears with his military uniforms.

But Prince Charles last saw active service - rather than his honorary or ceremonial roles - 30 years ago. After training in the early 1970s, he served in the Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy, culminating in 1976 as captain of coastal minesweeper HMS Bronington.
So what are his collection of 31 decorations for?
Unlike his brother Andrew, awarded the Falkland Islands medal, Prince Charles has NOT been decorated for active service in a war. Instead his honours are made up of awards for serving in a particular time or place, being a member of a high-ranking order or medals from other countries.
Some, like the coronation and jubilee awards, mark the fact that he was present for these events and ceremonies. The golden jubilee medal was awarded to all serving personnel of five years standing.
Fortunate, as he would be hard-pressed to fit all on at once. In addition to his domestic honours he has neck orders, breast stars, medals, decorations and awards from another 18 other countries, many of them given to mark his birthdays by his mother and the rest of them were given to him as presents.
