Personally, this is my favourite photo of Prince Charles interacting with the Army Air Corps...it could almost be one of those competitions where you have to come up with a caption

Nearly used that pic but I wanted him in uniform and the fact it was a tri-service unit suited my purposes as I have streamlined a number of service units where duplication exists.

As I already had a helicopter one I wanted something different for the second.

I have another of him with members of the Parachute Rgt which I need to add to the 44th Airborne Brigade write up.

Good NPC, but I have a problem with this:

Quote:
His links to the Canadian Armed Forces entitle him to be told of Canadian troop movements and this has often been used as an excuse to entertain the Canadian Ambassador George Miller.
This would not happen for because while all troop deployment and disposition orders, including declarations of war, fall within the Royal Prerogative and are issued as orders-in-council, which must be signed by either the monarch or governor general. Under the Westminster system's parliamentary customs and practices, however, the monarch and viceroy must generally follow the advice of his or her ministers in Cabinet, including the Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense. Which means being told of Canadian troop movements would only happen if and the Prime Minister and Minister of National Defense chose to do so. And that is a problem, by 2000 Canada is split into two governments one in western Canada and one in eastern Canada, which means there are effectually two Prime Minister and two Ministers of National Defense. Which brings into question who is he getting the info from?

I should have made it clearer that this is the excuse for regular meetings with a friend. By the time of the split command and control will render the meetings irrelevant.

Not trying to be dirty minded, but look who Prince Charles is standing in front of, where his eyes are trained and the position of his hands. And she is the only one smiling.

A lot of my work is focused on the UK as I live here and know most about it! I'm looking at the main political and military players and as he isn't detailed in the Survivor's Guide I thought I would detail him as there are some unanswered questions (e.g. what happens to Diana).

Unlikely to run a game near future due to a lack of local players :-(

Oh and as an aside I've set him so that he could stop to help the PCs...

Hmmm. The Treason Act of 1485 discusses the crime of laying hands ON the Royal personage, but does not cover the Royal personage laying hands on....
