Prince William takes salute at Royal Navy passing out parade
The Prince of Wales has put on his Royal Navy uniform to see more than 140 men and women from the UK and overseas pass out as officers at the Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth.
Passing out was a mix of Royal Navy officer cadets, international cadets from Oman, Kuwait, Bangladesh and Trinidad & Tobago, new officers for the Royal Fleet Auxiliary - the Royal Navy's vital support flotilla - and 18 sailors commissioned from the ranks.
The cadets had undergone 29 weeks of intensive training to turn them from civilians into junior naval officers.

See all them fantastic people. We need and appreciate them. Well done all.
Congratulations to all the new navy officers. In his naval uniform, The Prince of Wales is so like his great-grandfather, The Late Well-Beloved Good King George VI.

Well done Chaps, Excellent Achievement, Cheers!🫡🥂
Hope they all have good careers
Retention is a real problem in the Navy right now, most of these fine people full of pride will have left the service within 5 years if not before. I remember it well.

Brilliant, great to see William supporting the Navy, ex myself.
I noticed from some other coverage of this that the Prince of Wales' uniform had the rank cuffs of a commodore. If I understand correctly, his current service rank (in all three branches) is that equivalent to a naval commander (or OF-4). So just curious what the protocols are, for example, is the commodore rank here attached to an honorary military appointment apart from his actual service rank? Thank you.

Hi Robert. Prince William is the Commodore-in-Chief of the Submarine Service, and it was in this capacity that he was attending the parade today and so wore said uniform. Usually he would be in the uniform of a Commander for Royal Navy functions but as he was attending in the aforementioned role he wasn't.

Wish I was a prince…. Life would be different
"Young, vibrant member of the Royal Family?" Only in comparison to his grandmother and father. At 41, William is old enough to be the father of at least the youngest members of the class.

Prince William wasn't there out of privilege. He served for 8 years in all three Services. The Royals work, and work under pressure. Even on this occasion he had both cameras and high expectations directed at him. I'll warrant that the only privilege he would acknowledge is the privilege of being asked to take the salute for those who passed out at the Royal Naval College.

@pepperroni6252 British soldiers are meant to salute with they're left hands, and please don't try to contradict me. I used to live next door to The Sargent Major of The Household Cavalry. The reason for this is that it stops police informants from joining our army (in-com-pet-ents). It was not funny the first time that they saluted incorrectly, and it is still not funny now.
