The Conservative Party has said there are limited exemptions for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis from engaging in National Service. He vowed to reinstall National Service for 18-year-olds, which would involve either a year of military placement or volunteering every month. "National Service schemes in countries around the world show just how fulfilling it is for young people.
