my opinion what a farce for that organization

to pprune where you nattering nellies can cry about the royals and tell dumb boring stories nobody wants to listen to

I recall when I was teaching young harry the finer points of helicopter warfare as his exclusive private instructor hand picked by the queen, I had to take over the controls many times from and saved the royal family from a royal funeral. the queen wanted to knight me but the paperwork got lost in the royal mail and then she died otherwise you would now be calling me sir sly dork.

As it is based in the US and if you visit the website and see who has been previously honored, it makes you wonder why the current recepients to be are even considered. Hence the posting here, PPRUNE has some insight but as you noted let them discuss the Royals and his contributions.  As he resides in the US now really has no bearing on his selection.

So with that in mind it appears the bar has been lowered for entry, good luck maybe you got a shot.......

You can pick your friends but you're stuck with the family you're born into.

and family.  All you ever truly have.  The rest?  Distraction.

Epitome of privileged existence.  Means nothing to anyone.  Needs to stfu and get a job commensurate to his real qualifications and build a life for his family.  Life's short, don't totally eff it up.
