In Pictures: King addresses past, present and future at Sovereign’s Parade

The King spoke of his family links with Sandhurst as he attended the 200th Sovereign’s Parade in the presence of massed ranks of officer cadets.

Charles, due to be crowned next month after succeeding his mother, spoke of his own military training experiences but had a word about his sons William and Harry, pointing out they were both alumni of the famous academy.

Earlier this week, it was confirmed that Harry will travel to the UK for the coronation although the Duchess of Sussex and their children will remain in California.

Charles pointed out the dangers currently facing the world as he said: “Just as pressure in the East remains, so the peaceful world order which we so took for granted, particularly here in the West, is no guarantee.”
