Britain’s Prince William reportedly worked on an emergency flight that has since become involved in a murder case.
The 33-year-old royal – who began his new post as an East Anglian Air Ambulance pilot last month – helped air-lift a man whose subsequent death has become the focus of a serious crime case.
A spokesperson for East Anglian Air Police told PEOPLE: "William was the co-pilot that day.
"Our new aircraft requires two pilots: a captain and a co-pilot. Together with the captain, he took the casualty to hospital."
Prior to taking on the role, Prince William said he hoped the experience would make him a more "grounded" person.
He explained: "For me it’s a really important point to be grounded. I feel doing a job like this really helps me to be grounded and that’s the core of what I’m trying to become.
"I’m trying to be a good guy, to do what I can and trying to be a decent individual."
Earlier this month, meanwhile, Prince William honoured a rhino ranger with a charity prize, announcing Edward Ndiritu as the first recipient of the Wildlife Ranger Award – an accolade created by his conservation charity, Tusk Trust.
In a letter to Edward, he said: "May I take the opportunity to personally congratulate you on this richly deserved award and to thank you for the extraordinary contribution you and your team at the Lewa Wildlife Conservancy have made towards both the protection of wildlife and increased security for the rural communities of northern Kenya."
