The 35-year-old prince, the second-in-line to
the throne after his father, Charles, announced in January he
would quit his role as a pilot with the East Anglia Air
Ambulance (EAAA) to take more of the official roles relinquished
by Queen Elizabeth who since turning 90 last year has eased up
on her workload.
William's office said the prince would perform a night shift at
Cambridge Airport in central England where he has been based
since joining the EAAA in 2015, before posing for a photograph
with his colleagues.
"Following on from my time in the military, I have had
experiences in this job I will carry with me for the rest of my
life, and that will add a valuable perspective to my royal work
for decades to come," he said in January.
William served in Britain's armed forces from 2006 until 2013,
and worked latterly as a search and rescue helicopter pilot.
As well as quitting his air ambulance job, William is moving
with wife Kate, and children George and Charlotte from Anmer
Hall, their country mansion on the queen's Sandringham estate in
eastern England, to Kensington Palace, their official London
residence.
