The army High Command may know he's the son of the monarch and make allowances. The helicopter doesn't. They can't win. If they take the money and sit on their arses that's wrong. If they try to do a job that's wrong. It's part of my objection to the monarchy - not only what it does to the country but what it does to the people born into it with no way out. And don't say they can resign. How long do you think they'd survive the combined onslaught of demented royalty lovers, terrorists and the tabloid press?
