It is used to recognise “valuable voluntary service to the community or meritorious and faithful services to the Crown or similar services within the public sector, whether in elected or appointed office”. Considering as prince of Wales he was patron of many charities and even started his own affordable housing project in the UK, I’m sure it’s for something more than that

Yeah, I was just having a little joke - I actually have quite a lot of respect for his various environmental/social/other projects… but it’s still quite funny to get a medal from your mum :)
