Prince William takes flight in new job with Bond Air Services

Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, is adding a little more to his plate. On top of being a Prince, husband and father, he's added a new job into the mix.

It seems a new baby isn’t enough for Prince William; he’s got a new job, as well! Following in his little brother’s footsteps, who left the Armed Forces for a desk job earlier this month, Prince William announced this morning he will be joining Bond Air Services as a pilot.

Prince William, who has already trained as a search and rescue helicopter pilot, will undergo job-specific training before beginning his new missions for East Anglian Air Ambulance, including simulator, aircraft and in-flight skills training.

And whilst his new piloting digs would be his primary job, it was also announced his roster would take into account his royal duties and responsibilities, as well as his role as a new father to Prince George and his new baby due mid-April with wife, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge.

So, while Prince William juggles being a pilot, husband, father, Prince and a student, let’s take a look back at the Duke’s finest moments in a uniform.
