How much combat time have Harry or William actually seen?

Prince Harry:
After an education at schools in the United Kingdom and spending parts of his gap year in Australia and Lesotho, Harry chose a military career, undergoing officer training at RMA Sandhurst. He was commissioned as a cornet into the Blues and Royals, serving temporarily with his brother, and completed his training as a troop leader.

In 2007–2008, he served for 77 days in Helmand, Afghanistan,[2] but was pulled out following publication of his presence there by an Australian magazine.[3] He returned to Afghanistan for a 20-week deployment in 2012–2013 with the Army Air Corps.[4] He left the army in June 2015.


Prince William:
In December 2006, he completed 44 weeks of training as an officer cadet and was commissioned in the Blues and Royals regiment. In April 2008, he qualified as a pilot (earning his wings) by completing pilot training at Royal Air Force College Cranwell. He then underwent helicopter flying training in order to become a full-time pilot with the RAF Search and Rescue Force in early 2009. His service with the British Armed Forces ended in September 2013.[4][5]


As for actual combat time, I would doubt much. They are "famous" and had the ability to get an education which allowed them to get higher rankings and positions. But I would say that argument is a moot point for the meme. They still devoted a large portion of their life to military education, and in the military. Just because they may not have been in combat doesn't make the higher ranking jobs any less noble, especially when compared to the nobility of Trump's sons.

and I would say "zero". That being said, I remember Prince Andrew, their uncle, taking part in some pretty hairy battle as a rescue helicopter pilot during the Falklands war. Charles of course was no where to be found. Andrew was expendable. :biggrin:

Hi. I'm feminist Andrea Dworkin. I specialize in rape culture. I'm sick of men undressing me with their eyes. We need change people.

Actually more then you and I combined, but that's besides the point, (which you clearly didn't get). The meme was douchbag, not combat officer, but continue to tell us all about the military career of the Trump clan? All I found was daddy opting out of service because of a sore heel.
