Not at all, I wasn't aware until the Prince died and I came across the photograph.

Would love to have seen Stroessner's face

Wearing the uniform was not a prank i guess, he wore it often, nor was it intentionally done to make a joke; but then i often miss the sense or meaning behind all these rumours like if or why one of the royals moved the left or right foot first, or how their digestion might have been. Stuff for the yellow press, thanks but no thanks.
