Happy Birthday to a truly remarkable man! He gets a lot of heat from the media these days about being old-fashioned and stuffy. But he is the embodiment of all the good (abet, sometimes embarrassing) qualities of the Greatest Generation.
His title of Lord High Admiral is well deserved, and a long time coming: nearly 60 years since he left his naval career. Those who thought that the Queen would allowed the Duchess of Cambridge to be styled Princess Catherine - this is proof that the Queen does NOT easily give out titles/styles to people who marry into royal family. You have to earn through decades of service to the Firm.
