Prince William officially took over the role in May 2024 when King Charles, 76, handed it down to him at the Army Aviation Centre in Middle Wallop.
However, he had yet to travel to the 4 Regiment Army Air Corps after his father passed down the title.

The husband of Kate Middleton and father of three continued, "Very impressed by the relentless commitment, physical capability and mental acuity on display at the combat PT session. An excellent reflection of the Army Air Corps’ readiness and professionalism!"
To conclude his update, Prince William wrote, "A huge thank you to the soldiers and families of the AAC for the warm welcome—and for everything you do."
In February 2024, King Charles announced his cancer diagnosis. Prince William and other members of the royal family have stepped up to take on more responsibilities as the reigning monarch continues treatment.
Prince William and Middleton's son, Prince George, 11, is next line to the throne behind William, behind his siblings, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.
