Why is Wales on Prince William's uniform?

Answer 1

As is the case with the US Army, there are various territorial units ,. perhaps moreso in the Royal Forces. Certain regiments are identified with the Scots- the Black Watch, for example. It is a matter of military protocol he evidentally belongs to a unit stationed in Wales. Wales, a province, is surely part of the United Kngdom- hence the Prince of Wales as the heir-apparent ( Prince Charles Windsor, to get family-minded). So, Prince William is probably assigned to a unit in Wales. He"s an RAF officer, so the air base may be on Welsh soil.

Wales is a country that forms part of the United Kingdom along with the countries of England, Scotland and the province of Northern Ireland. Prince William is a serving officer with the Royal Air Force and his brother Prince Harry is a serving officer in the British Army. It is not normal for members of the British Royal family to use a surname so both Prince William and Prince Harry have name badges sewn on their uniforms and have adopted the surname "Wales". Prince William is currently serving in a Search & Rescure Unit in RAF Valley in Angleey in Wales. This is just a conincidence and has nothing to do with the name badge.
