Odd to portray the young Prince William as an obnoxious oaf anyway – it was Prince Harry who was the really horrible one as a youngster. Luckily seems to be a little better as an adult.
Really that dottering old woman was a terror to any troops she inspected. She would smile and address a Major, “Good Morning, Sergeant!”, which was, in effect, a field demotion. Sure, the base CO would restore the officer’s rank the next day, but the demotion would be on his military record.
A friend of mine served in the Canadian Army and saw this exact thing happen once with “The Queen Mom”. A lot of soldiers and officers are glad she isn’t around anymore for her version of fun and games.

Serves the Queen Mom right.
