Royalty and nobility taking part in actual on-the-ground warfare. I'd be curious if that would have any effect on military operations...
You think they used to mingle with commoners during an assault? They'd be up on the high ground.
I think the movie Braveheart gives a rather accurate representation of how warfare was in medieval times 🫣
I didn't say anything about reverting back to medieval weaponry or battle tactics. More than a couple ways to make their ears ring these days even if they aren't the tip of the spear.

That loud, earth-rumbling moan was the sound of every historian turning over in their grave.

Weren't Diana's kids as involved as they were allowed? Chopper pilots and medics and stuff?
Hats off to them! Where are the rest?
The US doesn't do conscription. We have something of an economic draft in this country. There's a whole different conversation to be had about that. I suspect a non-zero change to the frequency and motivations behind our deployments to follow if we make earning privilege compulsory. Our veterans services would likely look a fair bit different as well.
