Among Prince Charles medals are Order of Merit, Order of the Bath, Queen's Service Order, Queen's Coronation medal, Queen's Silver Jubilee medal and Golden Jubilee medal to name a few.

The netizens were not pleased with the Prince of Wales's recognition. A number believed that those who fight and died for the country deserve it more. They even find it "disgusting" and "disgraceful."

"Absolute disgrace to the people that where there and to those that died. We all laughed when the African leaders wore medals and didn't serve. Disgraceful," Ronnie Bates wrote.

"Shameful, and a kick in the teeth to real veterans who took an active role in military combat, especially those who made the ultimate sacrifice," another user posted.

"Disgusting sense of entitlement, wearing medals created for and awarded to real military ppl who fight and sometimes die and this family wonder why they're despised," AKA. MT Pokkits wrote.

"It's ok when your mum is the boss. Somehow unfair though with many veterans who served years during the Cold War on operations where their days were short or your dates our out for jubilee medals not years just dates no even a #NDM issued Charles my get one though you never know," another user commented.
