The Prince of Wales' gongs are not for active military service - so it's not like he's pretending he's something he isn't.
Most will be appointments and decorations from other countries and some will be for being the son of the Queen (Coronation, and three Jubilees will account for four of them for starters).
Queen's Regulations cover the awarding and wearing of medals and even being the next in line to the throne doesn't let you bypass them.
I was going to describe him as a self opinionated half wit until I recalled that most of his beliefs have been influenced by other idiots.

It made me very happy to see the thousands of people who turned out to the Thames, and I can't say how happy I thought Her Majesty looked at all the celebrations. I had tears in my eyes.
It made me so proud to be British, and I think we should all remember how lucky we are. This place isn't perfect but if your whining about it then you haven't got enough problems to afford whining.
Has anybody listened to the rest of the news? Heard about people dying..?
Just think how fortunate we are to live in this glorious country.
P.S.
Jenkins is bang tidy!
