But first he will take a year off to contemplate which charities to lend his backing to.

/// The palace said he currently has a particular interest in the preservation of endangered species. /// Mmmmmmm.

/// William and his young family are reportedly sad to leave Anglesey ///

I wouldn't have thought that the baby would even know that he was in Anglesey, never mind being sad to leave it.

If you want to have a go at the royals just come out and do it instead of pussyfooting around.

[maggiebee]

Ditto

[ChillDoubt]

Move along folks, nothing to see here.

maggiebee, would you mind going back and having a look at the Scottish Culture thread please?

LOL

Shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing prince.

[anneasquith]

what a lot of money wasted on training him, just to leave after a few years in 'the job', maybe he could be a house husband and ''the wife'' could go out to work ?

[sandyRoe]

He could always renounce his place in the line of succession and go and fly helicopters in the North Sea.

[Fusion5]

This was always on the cards, he is a Royal and would always be expected to join 'the firm'.

[anneasquith]

sandy, indeed he could, and id applaud him for doing so.

[New Judge]

Anybody, young or old, would be only too pleased to leave Anglesey.

I had the misfortune to stay at RAF Valley for a short time many years ago. Whilst I was made very welcome by the Station staff (as I always was when staying on RAF stations) the place itself defies description. If ever a place was ripe for "fracking" because of its desolation, Anglesey beats the North West and the North East hands down.

I too am slightly mystified at this snipe at the royals, normally it's the sort of thing I'd expect from the anti British, right on liberal brigade on this site. However I think even they would have more of a solid go than using the awareness of Prince George as a driver for this. Sorry if I've missed something here AOG.

Mmmmm?

Are you licking your lips at the thought of panda-burgers?

Blimey NJ, I don't share your view of Anglesey. I love it there!

[ParsleyDumpling]

Hi,

Whilst I don't normally contribute on the news threads, I would have thought the fact that the government and MOD plan to privatise SAR may have some bearing on Prince William's decision.

Bit of an oxymoron methinks.

[hawksley]

This is a non story, children are being gassed in Syria, Sod William and his young family, I want to save a starving child, not a silver spoon fed child ,like Prince George ,who will be looked after for the rest of his life ,with tax payers money.

[ToraToraTora]

you see AOG, hawksey has shown the way!

'what a lot of money wasted on training him, just to leave after a few years in 'the job', maybe he could be a house husband and ''the wife'' could go out to work ? '

it's the norm for recruits to join for between 6 and 12 years now, my husband joined for 3 in 70 and then resigned for an extra 9

[Old_Geezer]

Full time royal eh ?
It's alright for some.
