I'm sure that had to be put in deliberately just have a bit of fun with him because it really wasn't the best line. If I remember right the captain (Tom Berenger) just asked if anyone had any prior military service and he spoke up and said he had served with the Queen's artillery and then the captain says something like, 'well, there's no royals around here now, we are in the service of a republic' none of which, I am sure, any of those soldiers needed to be reminded up. I'm sure it was put in just as a way to poke a little fun at the prince on the set.
Nice photos of Albert I. I wish I knew more about his character. I heard that his experiences in war turned him into an avowed pacifist by 1914 and that he really did all he could to try to end the war or lessen the suffering. Yet, I've also read that he was rather autocratic and gruff at home and didn't have good relationships with those closest to him.
