Kate Middleton, (C) sits in the stands as her boyfriend Britain's Prince William takes part in the Sovereign's Parade at The Royal Military Academy in Camberley, 35 miles west of London, 15 December 2006. Prince William graduated as an army officer with a royal display of parade-ground skills Friday, in a traditional military rite of passage for the second in line to Britain's throne. In a black uniform completed with a red sash and clutching a gleaming assault rifle, 24-year-old William joined 227 fellow cadets in the passing-out ceremony at Britain's elite Sandhurst army academy southwest of London. His girlfriend Kate Middleton looked on beaming at the faultless display, attended by his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II and the rest of the royal family.
