Some use the term "fellow officer" instead of close friend. As I understand it, Prince Charles served in the Royal Air Force and Navy. Still, an officer in the Army can be called a fellow officer to one in the Navy or Air Force.
What conclusions can be made by an officer and gentleman who was raised from infancy to be honorable and do his duty to his Monarch and country who has extramarital relations with the wife of a fellow officer, including while he himself is married to another? What type of person is this?
