Two senior members of the RF who place wreaths at the Cenotaph will be missing from this year's service of remembrance. One has been disgraced and the other has turned his back on his country.

I'm ashamed of them both.

The RF always has a couple of black sheep in it, Andrew and Harry both like actresses, celebs and the high life.
Charles and William will have to rely on each other now.

A great loss to charities in this country . 3 family members
short . Harry has only recently taken over Captain General of
The Royal Marines from his Grandfather, who can take this on?

Harry is giving up his love of country sports, his blood family ,
his close friends . He will have Megan’s friends. The red carpet
in place of the British countryside.

This evening’s announcement has made me think of who will take up the slack for the RF now. Prince Charles is elderly and is already busy taking over from his mother and his own duties. William and Catherine are busy as well as having a young family and maybe having other children in the future. Something would have to give so presumably it would be the number of visits to open hospitals or meet and greets. The military positions that Harry holds would have to go to William I presume. Slimming down the RF is all very well when you have the number of family members to carry the duties but now Harry has gone and Andrew is in disgrace is there enough RF left to carry on as before. I feel very sorry for William in particular that he has to carry more duties than before. I think that the RF’s modernisation has come much sooner than anyone expected, it will be very interesting to see what happens in the next few years.
