#1 the sword of honour, which traditionally goes to the cadet judged to have performed the best during the Sandhurst course, went to junior under-officer Angela Laycock,

I'm sure she was please to have the honour thrust upon her. It will be interesting to see what happens when she becomes a senior over officer.

#2 while her son gazed expressionlessly

Brilliant, it's just your 2nd kid graduating from college, no big deal.

#3 I noticed that too -- my dad is a lot like Charles. Textbook malignant narcissists who ruined their families without a backward glance, yet insist the world owes them. I'd guess he can barely contain his rage toward Wills, for being much better looking, much more popular, and, especially for loving his mom and keeping her memory alive. Chances are he's anxious for the Queen to kick the bucket so he won't have to pretend anymore.

#4 You appear to have turned out nicely, exJAG, so there's hope for the young princes. ;-)

#5 My dad has been an enduring counterexample. I can judge evil because I've seen it. I hope Wills and Harry take the same lesson.
