The Sovereign’s Parade is an annual parade held to mark graduation of junior officers at Royal Air Force College in Cranwell, Lincolnshire. The Parade is attended by a representative of the monarch. On a rare occasion, that representative is a member of the Royal Family.
This is the Airforce equivalent of the Sovereign's Parade at Sandhurst Royal Military Academy. But unlike the parade at Sandhurst, this is not attended annually (or almost annually) by a member of the Royal Family.

President Trump was shot at & injured during a campaign rally in Pennsylvania, U.S. At least one other bystanders was killed during the assassination attempt. I would expect to see public statements from a number of monarchies. (Some will send messages privately, and some will have statements released by other government officials).
Current Monarchies
Bahrain
His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, the Crown Prince and Prime Minister, sent a cable to Republican presidential candidate, former US President Donald Trump, expressing his strong condemnation of the assassination attempt he was subjected to while attending an election rally in the US state of Pennsylvania.
His Highness affirmed his condemnation of all forms of political violence that contradict democratic norms and values, expressing his relief that former President Donald Trump is fine.
- Crown Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa (Translated)
Jordan
Deeply shocked and outraged by the heinous attempt on former US President Donald Trump’s life during a political rally. Jordan condemns this vicious attack and all kinds of political violence.
- King Abdullah II
Kuwait
His Highness the Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah sent on Sunday a cable to former US President and Republican candidate Donald Trump, voicing his relief over the safety of the official who survived a heinous assassination attempt during a campaign rally in the State of Pennsylvania.
His Highness the Amir strongly condemned the criminal act that went against human principles and values, wishing Trump a swift recovery and good health.
- Amir Sheikh Meshal Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al-Sabah
Morocco
His Majesty King Mohammed VI sent a telegram to Mr. Donald Trump in which His Majesty expressed his sympathy and solidarity following the assassination attempt to which he was a victim yesterday, Saturday, during an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
In this cable, His Majesty the King said that he received with great sorrow and grief the news of the horrific assassination attempt that took place yesterday at an election rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
His Majesty expressed his relief that "you are safe and sound", expressing his sympathy and solidarity following this heinous attack.
In this cable, His Majesty the King strongly condemned the political violence, wishing Mr. Trump "a speedy recovery so that you can continue to serve your great nation."
His Majesty the King's telegram read: "Our sympathies and prayers accompany you, Mr. President, and your family, as well as the innocent victims of this unfortunate act."
- King Mohammed VI (Translated)
Spain
Shocked by the terrible attack you have suffered during an campaign event in Pennsylvania, I want to send you, together with the Queen, our solidarity and relief to know that your wounds are not serious.
I also want to express to all the beloved people of the United States of America my most strong condemnation of any act of violence, even more so when it is directed against the values of democracy.
The Queen joins me too, Mr. President, to wish you a complete recovery, as well as that of the injured people, and to send our condolences to the family of the deceased.
I take this opportunity to convey to you the testimony of my highest consideration and personal esteem. - King Felipe (Translated)
UAE
Our thoughts are with former US President Donald Trump and those affected in the incident in Pennsylvania. The UAE condemns in the strongest terms all forms of violence and terrorism. - Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan
UK
Palace confirmed that King Charles sent a private letter.
I am shocked and dismayed by the assassination attempt on President Trump. I extend my best wishes to Mr. Trump and his family and pray for his speedy recovery. I also offer my condolences to the victims and the American people. Political violence has no place in democracies. - Prince Reza Pahlavi
Serbia
“I most strongly condemn the assassination attempt of American Presidential candidate Mr. Donald Trump which happened during a pre-election campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. To Mr. Trump and his family, who we have known for years, my wife, HRH Crown Princess Katherine, my family, and I send my sincere wishes for a quick and successful recovery, and to be together and support each other in these very difficult and most stressful moments for them. Together you will emerge even stronger. To the family of the man who was tragically killed I send my sincere condolences, and to those injured I wish a speedy recovery.
This kind of violence is completely unacceptable not only in political battles, but in each and every aspect of life, and we all must look deep into ourselves and ask – what has brought us here, as a society? Nobody has the right to take another person’s life in his or her hands, just because you disagree with their political views. Everybody has every right to disagree with another person, to fight for his or her views, stand and fight for the beliefs that are important, it is the essence of democracy, but this fight excludes any kind of violence. The political arena is the place where battles must be won with words and positive actions, confirmed in the voting stations. You can and you should support whoever is closer to your political views, but never harm another person because of that. The world has already suffered too much because of irresponsible behavior and heated passions. We all must unite and support true democratic principles of understanding, respect for others, and tolerance”. - Crown Prince Alexander
Royal attendance is not usually announced in advance (except for those attending in an official capacity). But look out for:
President/Patron: Princess Kate (Patron of Wimbledon & LTA) & Duchess of Gloucester (Honorary President of LTA)
Other Royals: Queen Camilla, Duchess Sophie, Prince & Princess Michael of Kent, etc.
Foreign Royals: (varies each year)
Extended Family: Phillips/Tindalls, The Kent & Gloucester's children, Middletons/ Matthews, Camilla's sister, etc.
The Royals almost always sit in the Royal Box at Centre Court. The day's matches in the Centre Court usually begin at 1:30 PM, except during the final weekend when matches begin at 2 PM. We will not see a royal attend every day. Expect higher attendance during the 2nd week.
