See our News Item\u00a0of 3 May below\u00a0on similar\u00a0royal appointments made in Canada a few months ago. There is some past history here. On 16 June 2012, the Queen appointed Prince Charles to 5 star rank in all three UK services recognising his dedicated support to HM in her role as Commander-in-Chief. Surely, we&#8217;re not next in this conga line of sycophancy? (the titular heads of our three services, however, are not yet vacant as the Duke of Edinburgh was appointed\u00a0to them in 1954).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NZ Prime Minister John Key announces that Prince Charles will be recognised as Admiral of the Fleet of the Royal New Zealand Navy, New Zealand Army Field Marshal and Marshal of the Royal New Zealand Air Force during a visit&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-17","wpcat-17-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1346"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1347,"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1346\/revisions\/1347"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/womenrep.org\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
