Top Royal Set To Discreetly Follow Prince Williams Path

The Royal Family might consist of only a few active royals at its centre, yet many lesser-known members lead relatively normal lives away from the limelight.

Among them is Alexander Charles Ogilvy, poised to capture public attention as he charts a path similar to Prince William.

At just 29, Alexander—once hailed as one of the most appealing royals—has completed his education at the Royal Military Academy of Sandhurst, following in William's footsteps.

This achievement, coupled with his commission into the Blues and Royals, means Alexander could participate in Trooping the Colour next year. 

This possibility is particularly thrilling for Alexander, the grandson of Princess Alexandra—a cousin of the late Queen Elizabeth II—and son of James and Julia Ogilvy.

The Daily Mail's diary editor, Richard Eden, has also mentioned that Alexander has enlisted with the esteemed Household Cavalry.

Should he indeed be featured at Trooping the Colour next summer, he is expected to draw significant attention from royal enthusiasts, many of whom have called him "handsome" and a "pretty boy".
