King Charles spoke of his pride in his two sons as he observed military cadets completing their training, days after it was confirmed that Prince Harry will be at the Coronation next month.

On Thursday, Charles attended the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst for the 200th Sovereign’s Parade, to see the 171 cadets who have completed their training as army officers and will receive their commission at midnight.The visit came after Buckingham Palace confirmed earlier this week that Harry will attend the Coronation on 6 May.The Duke of Sussex will be flying over from the States alone though, as Meghan Markle remains in California with their two children.Thursday's event was Charles's first visit to the parade as King and saw his new colours blessed and presented.

The old colours, belonging to the Queen, were then marched on to the parade ground with cadets saluting a statue of her. Addressing the crowd of friends and families watching the parade, Charles said he spoke “as a father of two alumni of this academy” and he knew the “immense pride” they would be feeling.

He then recalled his own training 50 years ago, and said: “Having attended, and survived, two of the other military academies 50 years ago, I think I have some idea of the challenges which are inherent in military training. “I have experienced the nerves, the exhaustion, even the self-doubt, but despite such recollections, it is the lifelong friendships which are forged through shared hardship, and the humour you find in the darkest hours of the coldest, wettest nights, which remain with you.” He spoke of the war in Ukraine and praised the support given by the British Army as well as the “courageously indomitable Ukrainian people”.
