Prince William - Royal appointment in the fire engine
Prince William (42) visited RAF Valley Air Force Base in Anglesey, Wales. He served there from 2010 to 2013 as a helicopter pilot with a "Search and Rescue" unit. His father, King Charles III. (75), appointed William as the royal honorary commander of his former base last year. During his visit, William was warmly welcomed and even got to observe an exercise.
Personalized Mug for the Prince of Wales
William, who appeared in a dark blue suit and red-blue tie for the occasion, was reportedly in good spirits despite the rain and carried an umbrella for the event. He visited the control tower and engaged in lively conversations with the staff. The base members even presented him with a personalized "HRH Prince of Wales" mug, which he held during the discussions.
Subsequently, he participated in a simulated rescue exercise of a burning aircraft and took a seat in a fire truck. He was also allowed to operate the water cannon. William also met engineers, flight instructors, and trainees and was shown a training aircraft. He presented Flight Lieutenant Jake Fleming with the "Prince of Wales Award," which is given annually to the best flight instructor. Some locals couldn't resist and also welcomed William in Wales. Schoolchildren brought Welsh flags and exchanged a few words with the royal visitor.
The personalized mug presented to Prince William featured his title, "HRH Prince of Wales".
