King Charles III served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and Royal Navy during the 1970s, qualifying as a helicopter pilot and commanding the coastal minehunter HMS Bronington. He trained with the Cambridge University Air Squadron, later flying helicopters for 845 Naval Air Squadron aboard HMS Hermes, and completed the Royal Marines Commando training, earning his green beret. He retired in 1976 as a Commander.

    1. Dont glaze the guy too hard. While he would have passed basic training/ got his wings/ served in non combat situations, the level of awards granted to him were obviously extremely managed.

    2. Grass is greener on the other side of the pond. King Charles talks about checks and balances while Trump applauds dictators.

    3. No. One King and a president. One is elected by the people and the other is born into an outdated aristocratic system. That’s literally the difference. Credibility has nothing to do with it, in the way the post is intending.

    4. If it wasn’t for the UK Trump would be speaking German. You know, since the USA wouldn’t exist and his draft-dodging grandfather would’ve stayed in Bavaria.

    5. Pfft. Trump can have these silly stickers donated to him. And could wear them quite nicely. Thank you very much. But he prefers to stick them in his diaper now. Have you not noticed how full his pants are lately?

      I mean, you could have mentioned Don’s coveted Fifa Peace Prize. King Charles must be so envious.

    7. Should’ve wore his purple hearts he stole from some random veterans he forgot about

    8. Being king doesn’t come down to credibility at all? That’s like the whole notion of a king? Why we’ve never wanted a king? Being born into a family and handed medals doesn’t count as credibility.

      Look into a guy called Jimmy Savelle. Charles was real buddy buddy with him. He was also pretty close to a guy called Lord Mountbatten.

      Charlie is as big a piece of shit as Trump. Americans need to quit glazing the English aristocracy. They are, and always have been, human garbage. Their shunning of Andrew is a PR stunt. They could have had full knowledge of his predelictions and never said a word if it hadn’t become public.

      There are a lot of people who want ‘The Royals’ out of British governance. They only acted on Andrew because it would have just fueled anti- royal sentiment and pushed public opinion one click closer to getting rid of Them.

    10. I would have thought the real big difference is that one of them is very obviously filling a diaper.
