Britain's Prince William's office is to receive a new helicopter.
The father-of-two - who has Prince George, two, and Princess Charlotte, eight months, with the Duchess of Cambridge - will soon have the chance to pilot a brand new helicopter, a H145, for the East Anglian Air Ambulance service.
Diana Jakubowska, head of communications at the East Anglian Air Ambulance, told PEOPLE magazine: "Our targets have been increased because we have introduced the new helicopters. We are putting a huge amount of extra effort to raise that money. We are not aware of any direct impact he has had for fundraising.
"We will then have greater resilience enabling us to go from one job to the other much easier. It is really good news all round, but it has impacted on the amount of money we need to raise."
Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that the 33-year-old royal's shared office at Cambridge International Airport has a Playstation as well as top-of-the-range televisions and a cappuccino machine.
A staff member said: "When you are doing this day-to-day, you need to talk about it and you need to de-brief and sit down and have a nice cup of tea in a beautiful environment with all the up-to-date equipment."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been praised for raising awareness of mental health issues.
Nikki Mattocks, 18, who met Prince William and Duchess Catherine when they visited Harrow College in October, says the pair have helped people to be more open about their illnesses.
She explained: "The visit was a massive step forward and got a lot more people talking about mental health.
"For me it was the first time I'd spoken that publicly about hearing voices.
"I knew it would go out to a lot of different media outlets because of the publicity that they bring but I was confident to do that because they were doing it in a positive way and a way that was compassionate and helpful.
"They helped me to feel like it's OK and to speak about it more openly. It might have just been an hour that they came and saw us for but they gave us so much more than just an hour. I think they've done a lot more in terms of positive awareness than anyone else could have."
Nikki added that the couple - who have two children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte - are committed to raising awareness of mental health issues.
She told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "They said they know it's a big issue at the moment and they realise that they can do something about it so they want to.
"And also because they have George and Charlotte I think that they probably want their children to grow up in a day and age where mental health isn't a thing to be ashamed of and I think that's why they focus on children and young people's mental health because they know it could affect anyone."

Idris Elba has praised Britain's Prince Charles for giving him his "big break".
The 'Wire' actor explained during a 30-minute speech in parliament about diversity on TV that the heir to the throne had helped him via The Prince's Trust, the youth charity that helps young people aged 13 to 30 get into jobs, education and training.
Idris explained: "I'm a product of my imagination. Made in Hackney. Made in Newham. Made in Dagenham. But above all, I was made in my mind: I'm seeing it, thinking it, doing it.
"I finally got my first break in the creative industries from the Prince's Trust. Yes, good old Prince Charles came in there."
"The Prince's Trust subsidised one of my first jobs with the National Music Youth Theatre. They gave me £1,500, because my parents didn't have enough money.
"There were hardly any black kids, because none of us could afford it.
"And although back then I didn't get to meet Prince Charles, we had one thing in common. We both fell into the same line of work as our parents did.
"It's true. My dad worked in a car factory, so before I could get any work as an actor, I ended up doing night shifts at Dagenham.
"In fact Ford Dagenham had more opportunity and diversity than the TV industry I was trying to break into."
Idris went on to reveal his disappointment that Britain's diversity is not reflected on TV.
He said: "The Britain I come from is the most successful, diverse, multicultural country on the earth.
"But here's my point: you wouldn't know it if you turned on the TV. So many of our creative decision-makers share the same background."

Prince William's new office has a PlayStation for staff.
The 33-year-old royal works as a pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, based at Cambridge International Airport, and he and his colleagues have recently received a new office.
It features a number of home comforts for relaxing between missions, including the PlayStation, 55-inch televisions, a cappuccino machine and a large refrigerator.
It also contains two bedrooms with bunk beds for staff.
A staff member told the Daily Telegraph: "When you are doing this day-to-day, you need to talk about it and you need to de-brief and sit down and have a nice cup of tea in a beautiful environment with all the up-to-date equipment."
The new facilities are sure to impress all staff after they posted an appeal for a new fridge on Twitter last year when theirs broke.
The tweets read: "Oh no! The fridge at our Cambridge base has broken down and needs replacing.
"We're looking for someone to donate a new standard under-counter fridge."
William flies an EC145 T2 aircraft and responds to emergencies in Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire. He donates his salary to charity.

Designer Patrick Grant says Prince Charles is "the most stylish member of his family".
The creative director of bespoke tailors Norton & Sons of Savile Row is a huge fan of the royal's fashion choices and says his style is more impressive than his son Prince William's.
He told The Guardian: "He is a beautifully dressed man, always immaculate. He has access to lots of great stuff and can wear almost whatever he wants in the evening because he is head of so many of the armed forces.
"Not that I have anything against the Queen, but the Kings of England and Princes of Wales were always sartorial ambassadors for the UK. While we had kings on the throne, from Charles II onwards, we ruled menswear. Edward VII, George IV, Edward VIII... These were probably the most copied menswear icons globally. Charles would resume that. He is the most stylish member of his family. Let's not talk about Prince William's style."
And Patrick also loves that Charles has his own distinctive look.
He said: "As with all great stylists, if you put a bag over his head you could still tell it was him. Princes Charles has a distinctive cut and tie knot, and often wears a lapel pin and pocket square."

A new TV special will celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday.
The monarch will reach the milestone age on April 21 and ITV will air a special tribute to her live from Windsor Castle and hosted by presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly, who recently worked on a documentary with her son Prince Charles.
A source told the Mail on Sunday newspaper: "Ant and Dec's names were in the frame before the Prince's Trust documentary but I imagine it has helped that they have a good relationship with Charles.
"It's going to be a similar format to the Diamond Jubilee Pageant but with even bigger performers and performances. This night has been two years in the planning.'
"The line-up has yet to be announced but ITV is very keen that this is a show for the Queen with music and acts that she will enjoy. As well as some of the world's biggest performers, there will be horses, the military and everything the Queen loves, all in her back garden."
Dame Helen Mirren, Alan Titchmarsh and Katherine Jenkins will all be involved in the live show.
Simon Brooks-Ward, producer of the celebrations, said: "We want to represent everything that matters to the Queen.
"We have performers and military regiments from all over the world coming and all the Queen's bodyguards taking part."

A new screenplay titled 'Anne: The Frisky Princess' will lift the lid on Princess Anne's love life.
While the 65-year-old royal has been happily married to Sir Timothy Laurence, 60, since 1992, the script, written by a member of the royal staff, tells the story of her romantic exploits from her youth.
According to the Daily Mail, "the story would start with Gerald Ward, an Eton-educated ex-cavalry officer who later became Prince Harry's godfather", a love interest of Anne's in her late teens.
Anne has two children, Zara and Peter Phillips with her first husband, Captain Mark Phillips, who she divorced in 1992, eight months before she wed Timothy.
The screenplay reportedly details her love life all the way from her first fling with Ward, right up to her marriage to Timothy.
Meanwhile, these days Princess Anne is one of the hardest working royals and last year was named England's busiest member of the royal family.
Nikki Jeffries, managing editor at Royalista.com, said: "The apple never falls far from the tree and Princess Anne has had two very good royal role models in her parents.
"None of them has ever craved the limelight, even though they all understand the importance of using their public profile to highlight the causes they support."
