The Sovereign\u2019s Parade is a special event that marks the end of an Officer Cadet\u2019s time at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst as they are commissioned into the British Army and many overseas armies.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Taking place three times a year, the parade is a closed event for friends and family of those successfully Commissioning from the 44-week course.<\/p>\n

Princess Alexandra looked chic in a colourful paisley coat, meanwhile, Flora wore a floral blue dress, a matching shawl and a blue pillbox hat as she proudly snapped pictures of her younger brother taking part in the parade.<\/p>\n

Following in Prince William’s footsteps<\/h2>\n

The 28-year-old, who was previously dubbed one of Tatler<\/em>‘s most eligible matches, headed off to Sandhurst last September – the same military base where William<\/a> and Harry<\/a> trained.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Alexander’s move was revealed by his incredibly proud sister, Flora Vesterberg, 30, in a heartfelt post on Instagram.<\/p>\n
