Prince Charles and Prince William

Prince William was awarded his wings by his father earlier this month. He then flew to the Isle of Wight in an RAF helicopter for a stag party


Prince William was under fire again after it emerged that he had landed his £10million RAF helicopter in girlfriend Kate Middleton's back garden during an official military exercise.

Miss Middleton and her parents are said to have watched in delight as the second in line to the throne practised a series of take-offs and landings in the paddock of their sprawling detached home in Bucklebury, Berkshire, earlier this month.

Details of the two-hour stunt emerged just days after the prince was heavily criticised for using another Chinook to fly himself and his brother Harry to a stag weekend on the Isle of Wight.

The revelations have raised questions about the way in which the RAF has allowed the prince to fit his "intensive" four-month training course around his social life.
