Prince William to Make Last Air Ambulance Flight, Increase Royal Duties - NBC News

Britain's Prince William is due to take his final flight as an air ambulance pilot Thursday, as the second-in-line to the throne prepares to take on more royal duties to support his 91-year-old grandmother, Queen Elizabeth.

William, 35, has spent two years flying medevac missions for the East Anglia Air Ambulance in southeast England. Previous to this he served for seven years in the Royal Air Force, gaining his wings in 2008 and working as a search-and-rescue helicopter pilot from 2009 to 2013.

But after more than a decade living a relatively normal life, the royal family announced in January that William and his wife Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, would step up their royal duties.
