Duke flies four life-saving ambulance missions in first week

“And Catherine has been doing an fantastic job as a mother and I’m very proud of her”. “And when she heard about the orphanages full of kids who are frightened and alone she made a decision to do something about it”.

The Cambridges are all smiles.

He described Charlotte as a “little joy of heaven” and said looking after two little children took more responsibility. “He’s a little monkey”.

While the Duke of Cambridge was focused on carrying out his duty, his arrival didn’t go unnoticed by onlookers at the scene.

STEFAN ROUSSEAU/AFP/Getty Images The Duke of Cambridge started his new career as a medical helicopter pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance Monday.

Despite admitting feeling the “first-day-nerves”, Prince William managed to carry on with his first day at work.

“He then turned and waved at me and my son”.

“For me it is also really important to be grounded”, William told reporters Monday.

“We’re looking forward to him being part of the team”, EAAA chief executive Patrick Peal said when William’s role was announced.

Not a bad day on the job!

The Felixstowe incident happened shortly after midday when a man in his 50s suffered a cardiac arrest.

“Nothing ever prepares you that well for what you are going to see”, he said.

Prince William completed a civilian pilot course in September before taking dedicated 999-response training in order to take up his role with the air ambulance service.

“I’m trying to be a good guy, to do what I can and trying to be a decent individual”.

Because of royal responsibilities, he will work about two thirds of a pilot’s normal hours but in the early months he will work a full roster as he settles in.

Dr Mullen, Prince William and their crewmates – pilot Captain Dave Kelly and paramedic Tim Daniels – can be dispatched at a moment’s notice to road crashes and other emergencies around the region.

“If there’s one thing the Duchess does not need in her life right now, it’s William and his chopper anywhere near a woman who is basically a reminder of how much more exciting life was B.C. – before children”, wrote Sarah Vine for the Mail Online.
