Discontinue the Royal Family's exemption from the "Walter Mitty law"

Rejected 14 signatures

What the petition asks

Apparently, a law has been enforced meaning that no one can wear medals that they have not earned. However according to the Rochdale Herald, the Royal Family are exempt from this law. This is unjust and an insult to the Magna Carta which stated even the king had to obey the law.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

We're not sure what you're asking the UK Government or Parliament to do. The "Walter Mitty Law" (Awards for Valour [Protection] Bill) is not yet a law. You can find out more about this proposed law here:
