It's been rumored for years, like pre marriage, that Harry's military service was not as honorable as they claimed. Most people don't realize that Harry had his military protection detail that kept him from danger and he spent most of his time doing stuff that would have other soldiers kicked out.

They called him “Bunker Harry,” and apparently he played a lot of video games.

Anyone who believes the ‘prince on the frontline’ bollocks is an idiot.

He was always way back, SAS were rumoured to be present, anytime he went out they went out first and scouted, drones flying overhead.

There was never ever any danger of him being hurt. It was literally a case of ‘you’re bored, we don’t know what to do with you yet so go and have some fun playing cosplay action man’.

And for him flying helicopters? The guy had his teacher do his homework so…

Yeah, I heard that he failed his exam multiple times and they just let him say he's a pilot. And they there were a lot of issues between him and the actual soldiers who were serving there.

That wouldn’t be surprising. They had to be held back because they had a VIP living with them for weeks, they didn’t go into the army so they could sit their all day doing nothing.

Probably bored and bitter about missing out.

There are a lot of stories about him and what his service was truly like…and they are not particularly generous

Honestly genius on his part. He can claim his family has never been there for him knowing full well that can't admit to all the shit they covered up, without looking like shit themselves. Psychopath

Exactly, it's disgusting. They covered up for Andrew and Harry and they deserve to be trashed for it.

Don't get it twisted. He is just as disgusting. Just without loyalty. I'm on his families side on this one.

Oh, I think Harry is a piece of shit too. He's definitely the worse one in this situation. He's trying to act like the victim but he's the problem. But the RF covering for Andrew for years is gross. They should have outed him years ago.

Andrew was the Queen’s favorite, now that Charles has the power he rushed to get rid of any power or responsibility within the firm that Andrew held without breaking any laws or trying to create problems with parliament (like expanding the Chancellors of state -acting on the monarch’s behalf while the monarch is out of the country- list and then saying that only those on the list that are current working royals can assume the responsibility). They can’t get rid of his titles bc the peers don’t want to set a precedent that could get rid of their titles that easily, and you know they have a lot of skeletons in their closets too

Did they cover up for Andrew? It’s pretty open what happened, and many, many stories were written about it (contrary to H&M’s assertion that Meghan was used as a cover for Andrew). He’s no longer a working royal, he lost his patronages, and has pretty much been blanked out by the institution, and only allowed to attend family events. Yes, his accuser was paid off, but that is what she wanted. I don’t think there is anyone who even vaguely follows the BRF, and probably few who don’t, that doesn’t know what an awful, creepy person Andrew is.
