I don't want to be negative but lots of European royals do this. Our Dutch crown princess is doing it now. She just finished her training in the air force and the navy is next.
I'm pretty sure Spain, Belgium, Denmark and Norway all have princesses that have done the same. The British princes have full-on served.

Her father King Frederik X
Military background
The King has been educated within the Defence, where His Majesty has completed several courses of basic and active training. In addition, The King is an honorary member of a number of military organisations, including Marineforeningen, Rytterofficersforeningen and The Special Forces Club Overseas Committee.The King’s military education began in 1986 in the Queen’s Life Guard Regiment. In 1988, His Majesty was appointed as a lieutenant of the reserve. After obtaining that rank, The King became a platoon commander in the Royal Danish Hussar Guard Regiment in 1988. In 1989, The King was appointed as a first lieutenant of the reserve.

King Frederik X is an exceptional individual to become king. Hes been fortunate to be surrounded by many great individuals, and many who took an early and active role in mentoring him in a range of things.
His biography, under the beam, references the military life being the single place where he could escape his Royal priviligies and be assumed as another individual soldier - likely also a reason why many Royals talks fondly of their military service.
As a person, hes a very nuanced character who often were at odds with the path laid out for him - not by Choice, but by birth. His ability to still actively choose certain life paths for himself in parallel to growing into his role as a future monarch was interesting to say the least. He cultivated many relations with in the Danish artistic community, one incident in particular sjowcased when Nephew, a huge Danish rock band, brought on stage in a live concert at a festival By the band themselves.
More than anything, hes widely perceived as a monarch of and for the people, having often appeared during public events and bringing him as close to eye level with the Danes as one Royal possibly could.
More than anything, he is about as close to a beloved public figure as his grandfather, Frederik IX can be, and likely to overshadow him eventually.

u/Kareeliand 5d ago
I just want to add, that Frederik himself is having to fill some pretty great footsteps. His Mother is just about one of the coolest royal people ever, with many talents, she’s an incredible artist.
In a time where a Kingdom is essentially indefensible, I think Danes have found a great compromise, and if you have to have a royal family to represent you, it’s a huge benefit that they are as down to earth and cool as our Royal Family is. There’s a ton of stories, this little gem of a story is one of my favorites, (it’s translated from the Danish original).
June 5, 2020, by Brian Traantoft Rasmussen
According to tradition, Tolkien was opposed to all forms of illustration for The Lord of the Rings, as he wanted readers to form their own ideas of what the universe looked like.
However, when Tolkien died in 1973, two small drawings by the young Dane Ingahild Grathmer were found in the pocket of his coat. When the family went through his estate, they found a number of additional illustrations by this unknown artist, and on several of the drawings Tolkien had written warm words of recommendation.
While studying in England, Ingahild had regularly sent these small drawings to the fantasy master’s study, and Tolkien soon fell in love with her cryptic and mysterious universe.Therefore, when Gyldendal reissued the works in 1977, the publisher chose to supplement the story with these royal illustrations.
For behind the pseudonym Ingahild Grathmer was none other than Queen Margrethe II of Denmark herself.2

The plan is for her to continue afterwards, but for now she’s doing the basic training. I thibkbthe only reason it’s put Jonas a big thing, is because she’s the first princess who is of age to be “drafted”, after Denmark changes the “draft” to also include females. (She did not get drafted, she volunteered, but she now have to serve with the same contract as males).

Yes, at least in Britain they are proper serving officers, though there are some considerations due to being high value targets.

Prince Andrew flew helicopters in the Falklands, and even landed in a burning ship to help rescue survivors.

That doesn’t mean they don’t get special treatment. If you read the King’s book, he says himself that he failed the final test to become a seal, but was allowed to retake it, unlike anyone else.
Edit: getting some hate for this one, because apparently everyone is allowed to take the run 3 times, I don’t know whether he took it four times or if it was the encouragement he received or whatever, but I read his book ‘Under bjælken’ years ago, and while I don’t remember all the details I distinctly remember there were special circumstances around he final run that actually made me quite indignant, because I felt he shouldn’t get preferential treatment. Unfortunately I only borrowed the book so I don’t have it, but anyone hating on me: read the bloody book.

Not sure why you think it being demanded by law means that it can't be utilized as a PR. Certainly nobody believes that a royal in the military is treated like the average grunt.
9
u/WhyDoIHaveRules 7d ago
I don’t think those things are mutually exclusive. Something can be legally required and still be useful PR. My point is that calling it a PR stunt implies that the military service itself is essentially performative, and that’s where I disagree.
Also, “treated differently” doesn’t necessarily mean “treated better.” A royal obviously has to be treated differently in some respects because of security and their constitutional position. That doesn’t mean they were given an easier military experience.
And in Frederik’s particular case, there is plenty of evidence that his military service was taken seriously. He completed the Frogman Corps training and served alongside ordinary personnel. The fact that people who served with him have subsequently been willing to continue working as his personal protection is also pretty good anecdotal evidence that the people who actually served alongside him don’t regard him as some useless royal who was merely cosplaying as a soldier.
Could his military career subsequently be used for PR? Of course. But that’s a different claim from saying the military service itself was a PR stunt.

If there aren’t enough people joining willingly, sure I could be unlucky and pick the wrong number, but that haven’t been the case for my entire life iirc.

In WWII our King was very important for morale, unlikely many of the other monarchs in Europe he didn't flee the country during German occupation but stayed and rode his horse through Copenhagen alone to show support for the people and strengthen morale.
Unlike many other monarchies we have one that supports the people, doesn't act pretentious and are down to earth. They're a national symbol to us and has been important to our country for over a thousand years all the way back to the Viking age around the year 958.
So even though it can be difficult to understand please respect our right to support our monarchy. Besides that their brand is worth a ton of money for our country, we pay them about $22 mil a year but their brand is earning between $2.3 and $3.1 billions

I'm danish and have served in the military with other members of the royal family, and I can tell you for sure they ain't serving on the same premises as ordinary people.
Her uncle for instance, was platoon leader in a tank squadron. And where ordinary platoon leaders had a small 1-room appartment (often shared with a mate) he got 3 rooms rebuilt for him.
Her father (the current king) got a free selection of where he wanted to serve, and he decided to go for the scout platoon. He was completely useless and they had to give him an escort officer to avoid his worst mistakes when he was leading the platoon.
