Earlier today, Kensington Palace announced that Prince William has been employed by the East Anglian Air Ambulance, which is a civilian company and he will work day and night shifts.
Prince William, who was previously employed by the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force, will be based at Cambridge Airport and fly missions in Cambridgeshire, Norfolk, Suffolk and Bedfordshire.
In a statement, the Palace said:
“In common with all other East Anglian Air Ambulance pilots, The Duke will be formally employed by Bond Air Services. He will draw a salary which he will donate in full to charity.”
“The Duke will start as a co-pilot but, after a period of training, will be qualified to fly as a helicopter commander…This job will be the Duke’s primary occupation but his roster will take into account the duties and responsibilities he will continue to undertake on behalf of The Queen, both in the United Kingdom and overseas. The Duke will also continue his work with his patronages and with the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry.”
