Prince William, wearing a Royal Navy Greatcoat, Cap and Sword, is attending the Lord High Admiral’s Divisions on behalf of The King at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. It’s the final passing out parade of the year.
The parade saw a total of 202 Royal Navy Cadets pass out with International Officer Cadets from Oman, Kuwait, Bangladesh and Trinidad & Tobago.
The cadets have undergone 29 weeks of intensive training, which sees them train from civilians into junior naval officers who have been tested in a variety of scenarios: in the classroom, on Dartmoor, the River Dart, and at sea on board an operational warship.
William himself underwent similar training in 2008, as part of his military training. At the time Kensington Palace said he will be “completing an intensive training course and touring Navy units. He will learn core skills including navigation, seamanship and practical boat handling.”
His father and grandfather, King Charles and the late Prince Philip, also both passed through the college.
