Andrew went to the Falklands, didn't he? As for the royal family expecting the forces to fight for them... well, we all expect the forces to do our fighting for us. That's what we pay them for. Shouldn't think the queen was any more desperate for Iraq to be invaded than I was, so I don't blame her for not leading the charge sitting astride a heat-seeking missile. Blair should have, though.
HRH Prince Andrew was the last Royal to come under enemy fire during the Falklands conflict. He flew Sea King helicopter missions from HMS 'Invincible'
