Charles checks up on William at work

Most military men would be terrified at the prospect of a royal inspection, but Flight Lieutenant Wales – aka Prince William – was thrilled to welcome his father to his workplace.

Prince Charles flew to the remote Welsh island of Anglesey yesterday to visit his eldest son at work at RAF Valley.

William was delighted to see his father, and took obvious joy in showing him around the base, even taking Charles to inspect his personal locker.

It’s not the first time a royal relative has visited William at work – the Queen and Prince Philip called in to see him in 2011.
