Prince William To Step Down From Ambulance Job To Become Full-time Royal

Prince Prince William will reportedly
complete his last shift as an air ambulance
pilot on Thursday (today) and resign from
his day job, in order to focus full-time on
his royal duties.


The 35-year-old prince, who is the
second-in-line to the throne after his
father, Prince 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 royal 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, then worked 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, which will be their
official London residence.
