Although I think the royals are past their sell-by date, Charles did in fact serve in the RAF as a helicopter pilot and commanded a minehunter for the last almost year he was in the forces. I think when the Queen dies should be a natural time to declare them obsolete. And I was born in England, but haven't lived there in almost 50 years.
