GC, I agree!

I do think it must be awful to try and prove oneself being a royal. He can't be endangered, which is the usual route of proving manhood, but he can't just sit back and party either. Not if he wants some self-respect. I admire him for taking his turn in the military (though the risk is minimized, knowing he'll always be in a safe spot, kind of like our politicians' kids), but as far as the article gave me to believe, he went in to be treated reasonably like the other soldiers. Since he was called back, he doesn't lose points for not finishing the tour of duty. It's not like he gave up and came home.
