Well... medals are awarded on behalf of the Queen and you would be hard pressed to find an adult member of the Royal Family who has not been awarded a medal by their mother/grandmother.

It was the Golden Jubilee Medal, if you look on the site Royal insight, it says the Queen gave these medals for her Jubilee and William also has one,

Golden Jubilee Medal 2002 - awarded to members of the Armed Forces and emergency services who have completed 5 years' service on 6 February 2002.

I do not believe that Prince Harry (nor William) would meet the criteria for eligibilty to receive the medal therefore I maintain his award is for nothing other than familial connection.

It's a campaign medal from 2001's Operation Roll a Spliff

The honours system in this country is the most laughable thing on earth and anyone who thinks otherwise is probably a daily express or daily mail reader.

I wonder if anyone was brave enough to say something that was said to a recruit standing next to me in the 1960s. The drill sergeant, seconded from the infantry, yelled "It's a good thing you are going to be an officer, because never in this world will you ever make a soldier".


As a young newly promoted Sgt, I was to accompany the RSM on his weekly drill parade, when he saw Pte P****sh, (name deleted by me) he stuck his pace stick in his ribs and said "there is a piece of sh!t on the end of this stick P****sh" the hapless Pte replyed " not on my end Sir"
