After yesterday’s visit to the school and hospital and the dazzling reception, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge attended the inaugural Commissioning Parade in Kingston for service personnel across the Caribbean who have completed the Military Academy’s officer training program as the last engagement in Jamaica.

The parade was attended by seventy-nine officers from Jamaica, Antigua, and Barbuda, Barbados, and Guyana St Kitts were in attendance. The Duke of Cambridge was decorated in the No 1 Tropical uniform of the Blues and Royals. It was for the first time we saw the Duke of Cambridge in that uniform.

Encouraging the young graduates, The Duke of Cambridge, an Ex-RAF pilot, said, “You are graduating today as officers into an uncertain world. In your service ahead you will have to contend with climatic, geological, criminal, and wider state and non-state threats to our collective safety, security, and prosperity. You never know how strong you are until being strong is your only choice.”

Following today’s parade, the Duke and Duchess traveled in the same open-top Land Rover that transported the Queen and Prince Philip to Jamaica in 1953.

The Duchess of Cambridge was looking very elegant in a white Alexandar McQueen Lace dress. The mid-length lace dress featured a tailored silhouette with a squared neckline, puffed sleeves at the shoulder seams, a center-back vent with a self-belt waistline.

A closer look at the fabric and neckline. Interesting thought about the dress was that it looks exactly like the white lace dress Her Majesty The Queen wore in Australia in 1954. The @RoyalWikipedia on Twitter shared this comparison and it makes me think that The Duchess, her stylish Natasha, and Alexander McQueen head Sarah Burton definitely would have looked at some Royal archives while planning for the tour wardrobe.
