Princess Anne has wrapped up to brace the wet and windy weather as she represented King Charles at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst.
The Princess Royal inspected officer cadets at the third Sovereign's Parade of 2025.
The parade marks the completion of 44 weeks of intensive training for the Officer Cadets of Commissioning Course 251, all of whom will officially hold the King's Commission as of the stroke of midnight.
There are 27 international cadets from 17 countries with 184 from the senior intake in the parade.

Princess Anne and Sir Tim opted for a notably understated approach, signing the card with just their first names rather than any formal titles.
The photograph chosen for the interior captures the couple during their visit to Sark in the Channel Islands this past May, showing them travelling by horse-drawn carriage.
This simple "Anne and Tim" signature follows a pattern observed among senior members of the Royal Family.

The card was sent to Government House in Queensland following Anne and Tim's Australian tour last month, undertaken to commemorate the centenary of the Royal Australian Corps of Signals, for which she serves as Colonel-in-Chief.

Anne has earned a reputation as the most industrious member of the Royal Family, having recorded more official engagements in The Court Circular than any other working royal since 2021.
However, her decision to forgo formal titles on the Christmas card likely stems from practical considerations rather than her famously no-nonsense approach to royal duties.
Senior royals reportedly refrain from providing autographs owing to concerns about potential forgery, a practice that extends to their festive correspondence.
The Princess of Wales addressed this protocol directly during the Chelsea Flower Show in 2022, explaining to children: "My name's Catherine. I'm not allowed to write my signature, it's just one of those rules."
