LONDON – Prince William has finished his tour of duty as a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue helicopter pilot and has left operational service with the British military to focus on royal duties and charity work, royal officials said Thursday.
William’s Kensington Palace office said that the second in line to the British throne completed his final shift earlier this week.
It said he will now focus on royal duties and is “considering a number of options for public service.”
