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

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.
