US EditionPrince William Carries Out Major First in Role Previously Destined for Prince Harry
- On Wednesday, 42-year-old Prince William visited the Army Air Corps base in Wattisham, Suffolk, as its new Colonel-in-Chief.
- He assumed the position in May 2024, taking over from King Charles, who formally transferred the responsibility at the military aviation facility located in Middle Wallop.
- During the visit, William arrived by Wildcat helicopter, observed a combat PT session, learned about Apache AH-64E operations, and joined 664 Squadron's Archer's Breakfast.
- He awarded a King's Commendation for Valuable Service, promoted several soldiers from Corporal to Sergeant, served bacon and sausage rolls, and humorously remarked that families can be 'a mixed bag'.
- This visit marked William's first major duty since the handover and underscored his focus on the regiment's operational work and troop welfare amid ongoing family tensions.
