As for WR, we don't know that it was ever perfectly aligned with the LWM or the EF, do we? I mean, Henry looks the same age as his WR counterpart, but isn't it possible he was anywhere between 12-21, especially since he is being knighted. I know he's a prince and a special case, but if I remember my history right, a knight often first served as a page (from like 10-14), then beacme a squire until he was 21 when he was old enough to be knighted. Not that WR or EF have to follow those rules.

You forgot one fact about monarchy - usually the heir to the throne was knighted too, just as a “look, this is the future king. Accept it,” thing - given that WR Henry is implied to be illegitimate too, it’s their way or legitimising him to become King...
