Exactly why is he wearing war medals?
They aren't war medals- medals can be given out for different reasons. He did serve in the Navy and the Air Force, though.

Is the "Queen's service order" (presumably from his mam) basically just like when my mum gave me a sticker for helping do the washing up?
It is used to recognise "valuable voluntary service to the community or meritorious and faithful services to the Crown or similar services within the public sector, whether in elected or appointed office". Considering as prince of Wales he was patron of many charities and even started his own affordable housing project in the UK, I'm sure it's for something more than that
