Britain’s Prince William is set to become an air ambulance pilot.
The 32-year-old heir, who is a qualified search and rescue RAF pilot, will reportedly juggle his official royal engagements with a part-time job in East Anglia for a rumoured salary of £40,000 a year.
William and his wife Duchess Catherine are expected to relocate to Queen Elizabeth’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk with their 11-month-old son, Prince George.
A source told the Sunday Mirror newspaper: "It is perfect for him. He can combine Royal engagements with spending time with his family and his passion for flying.
"He doesn’t want to become a full time Royal at this stage in his life. But this will leave him open to criticism as he is enjoying all the perks of being a full time Royal.
"He will spend more time at his home in Sandringham which will raise the question of exactly how much time he will be at Kensington Palace."
An announcement about the prince’s new job is going to come within the next few days, according to the paper.
William left his role with the RAF last September after a three-year posting in Anglesey, north Wales.
But he recently hinted he was considering a return when he visited a Scottish Air Ambulance helicopter in the town of Crieff, telling the chopper’s crew he wanted to do something involving flying.
