The Ministry of Defence has issued a statement defending the decision to allow Prince William to land his Chinook heavy transport helicopter next to the home of his girlfriend’s family.
Officials said the prince touched down for 20 seconds in the Middletons’ field as part of a 100-mile training exercise, citing a shortage of suitable landing spots in Berkshire.
“Basically, there just isn’t another field in the home counties that isn’t owned by Tesco and earmarked for a superstore,” said a spokesman.
Prince William was awarded his wings in April, after completing in three months the training would take any other RAF pilot four years, making him the most incredibly gifted natural flier the world has ever seen.
