“The last time the Prince wore Navy Uniform was at HMNB Clyde naval base in Faslane, Scotland, in 2010.”
The royal expert further tweeted, “Prince William said the Naval College holds ‘a special place’ in his heart.
Delivering a speech to attendees, he said: "It is well known that my grandmother and grandfather met here, while my great-grandfather, King George the Sixth, was conducting these very duties.”
According to reports, Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip met in 1939 when Philip was 18 and a Navy officer cadet, who helped escort a 13-year-old Princess Elizabeth around Dartmouth's Royal Navy College, according to author and historian Tina Brown.
