Speaking from my own experience, and not a newspaper report, the present Duke of Kent was a Captain in the Royal Scotts Greys, when I was in the Royal Signals, seconded to the 4/7 Dragoon Guards. This scruffy 'officer' inspected us on 'Muster Parade', he stopped at my side and said "what were you before you joined the army trooper" I said "signalman sir, happy". Do not ask how long I was on 'Jankers', royals my backside!
