thanks annep

I was wondering if maybe it was a private joke between him, Harry, uncle airlmiles and grandad. When granny mentioned everyone’s name as having “earned their wings” except Charlie .

I think they are gigglers and are often seen laughing which is great.

The queen didn’t say anything in the Abbey.

He looked like his mum, Diana was a master of suppressed smirks.

When I saw the clip I thought Kate had hiccupped and William was laughing at that!

I watched a clip on the BBC news where she praised her “men” and left Charlie out . Mightn’t have been in the Abbey though . .

I thought her speech was in front of the parade at Buckingham Palace. I'm sure she said something along the lines of, 'Father, son and grandson earning their wings.'

So, that will be Charles and not Andrew who trained with the Royal Navy.

I think.

Yes merlot, she said the Duke of Edinburgh. Prince of Wales and Duke of Cambridge earned their wings.

I`m glad that`s clarified, I was beginning to wonder if I`d misheard.

Andrew was a Naval helicopter pilot in the Falklands, so presumably also had some kind of wings.

Navy helicopters form part of the Fleet Air Arm, not the RAF. The Queen was referring to RAF wings.

The Army Air Corps also trains helicopter pilots so that's where Harry would have gained his.

Anyone can be a "corpser" the more you fear giggling the worse it gets.
