Obviously "Rupert the Bear". But I've also heard some ex-army people refer to officer types as "Ruperts". Probably taking the mick out of their middle class names.

A Rupert is a top ranking officer in the British army, probably never actually been on the frontline. And was probably educated at Eton or Harrow public school.

Other than a man's name derived from Robert, the slang term Rupert is used to refer to an officer in the army (especially the SAS) perhaps from their accents or upbringing
