Hmm. I thought that one of the British royals served in the Falklands campaign. Allegedly he was flying a helicopter while the helos were routinely being used as decoys against the Exocets.
Agree with John though that an "automatically lose the scenario" would be unrealistic.

There are two scenarios where I can see Royals taking to the black as
junior officers.
In the first, it is entirely for show. In which case, they would
"serve" on a capital ship in the Home Fleet and there they would stay.
