Hi Alex

Simple answer is no.

Prince Charles would not wear the uniform of a junior officer in the paras. He would wear the uniform of the most senior Para - which he is. In the same way Prince Philip (and now the Duke of Sussex) wears the uniform of the Commandant-General Royal Marines and not the uniform of a Major!

The most senior rank an Auxiliaryman (and that was the title regardless of gender) could reach was Auxiliary Captain. However, more senior RN officers were appointed above them within the RNXS chain of command. No member of the RNXS (unpaid volunteers remember) could become the senior officer within the RNXS organisation - that position was always held by a professional RN officer. Any patron of the RNXS wouid have had to, at the very least, be of equal rank to the senior officer within the organisation - an RN officer.

I hope that makes sense!
