As heir to the throne, he has to be aware that he could become King at anytime. As King, he constitutionally cannot be opposed to the policies of 'His Majesty's Government'. Nor can he advocate policies that the Government is not in favour of. He can support a war that Britain is fighting - and he does support such things - but he is very limited constitutionally in what he can publically do. That's the nature of the Constitutional Monarchy that applies.
If your military can’t find a “role” for him you need a new High Command. Just saying.
He still carries out ceremonial roles as appropriate (and he actually holds honourary rank as a Field Marshal in the Army, and Admiral of the Fleet in the Royal Navy, and as a Marshal of the Royal Air Force for those purposes) - but honestly, while he did his duty competently as a junior Naval officer, but there's a reason why he never went beyond substantive Lieutenant. He wasn't particularly good at it - he wasn't bad, but he wasn't anything special. If there was a real desire to, and he wanted it, they could find him a desk job somewhere, but he would not be doing anything particularly important.
The Prince is a reasonably intelligent, very well educated man, who does his best to do his duty - but he's nothing special, except for the constitutional role that was placed on him by an accident of birth. I'm his friend so I will defend him against what I think is unfair criticism as I am doing here - but if I was still a serving officer I wouldn't want him placed above me because he hasn't earned that, and I'm not sure what job I could find for him that was both useful if he was under my authority. He was a decent junior officer, forty years ago. That's it, in terms of an actual military role.

The rest of your post makes sense to me. And I thank you for the analysis.
