    What a bizarre claim to make, that he can’t sweat was it? Obviously not true, he was in the military I think, even as a helicopter pilot he wouldn’t be able to serve if he couldn’t sweat. You wouldn’t be able to live without sweating first time you get some exercize you would get brain damage, or first trip to the subtropics, from the heat. Your balls would get fried too.

    Guy obviously can sweat if he couldn’t he would be like a bubble boy.

      The helicopter pilot was his nephew, Harry. I believe Andrew served in the Navy during the Falklands war.

        Ah thanks I always avoided learning anything about the royal family but someone recently said he was also a helicopter pilot in the falklands, I remember Harry in afghanistan because of those comments he made that got leaked using a slur and whatever else.

        Any which way, you can’t serve in the armed forces in about any capacity if you can’t sweat. They won’t event take flat feet.

        It’s just such an outlandish lie, like that is the best he could come up with? And it doesn’t absolve him either if I recall.

          He claimed it was due to events that happened during the war.

            Yeah sorry I had not actually watched it before, I just did from the link, most of it. Seems incredible to suggest that adrenaline would take away your ability to sweat years after the fact, I would bet everything that’s not true, maybe it would inhibit sweating for 20 minutes or so after a rush.

            But now he can because of all the hard work he put in, or something, as he talks about it around the minute 20 mark of the interview.

            I would like to hear what medical experts say about this not sweating because of adrenaline years prior business. But also I would bet he barely saw any real action that would prompt all the much adrenaline, I bet they gave him safe jobs because they didn’t want the royal killed on their watch.

      The really incredible thing is that he thought everyone was dumb enough to fall for all the bullshit in that interview. “I have a tendency to be too honourable.” FFS.

        “I have a tendency to be too honourable.”

        Lol I used to say something like that in response to the dreaded “what is your biggest weakness?” interview question. “Sometimes I care too much.”

        Ah yes, I wonder if there is a word for someone of importance that is surrounded by yes men and yes woman that never gets called on their bullshit and therefore makes dumb arguments because everyone they are in contact with pretends to believe them?
