Prince Williams assumes work on first day as ambulance pilot

The Duke of Cambridge on Monday resumed his first shift as a pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance (EAAA), based at Cambridge Airport at 7am.

After the Duke and his crew-mates checked over the H145 helicopter he will fly, he told reporters of his excitement at the new role.

Speaking with The Telegraph on his first day, Williams said: “It’s my first day and I’m feeling the nerves. We’re starting off on a wet Cambridge day, but I’m really looking forward to getting started.

“It’s been a lot of effort and patience in training but we’re here now and I’m looking forward to doing the job.”

The Prince who is married to Kate Middleton, Duchess of Cambridge, recently christened their second child, Princess Charlotte.
