It's unfortunate that the kids in this country, especially those who grow up very privileged, don't feel the same way about serving their country as others in other nations.
Granted, the Royals are brought up in a very military/honor-bound culture - I think almost every male serves at some point.
Unlike the US, if they try to duck out or use their connections to get some kind of easy duty (i.e. like some in this nation used the National Guard during Vietnam), they will get ridiculed and have their honor and manhood questioned.
