Prince William could go back to flying rather than taking on full-time royal duties when his transitional year is up in September.

It's being reported that the Duke of Cambridge is considering taking a role with the East Anglian ambulance service near his home in Norfolk, Anmer Hall.

He stepped down from the search and rescue service last year and embarked on a year to work out his future path.

During this time William studied a course at Cambridge University designed to help him with his role running the Duchy of Cornwall — a portfolio of land, property and investments he will inherit from his father Prince Charles. Palace officials have told The Sunday Times that the Duke doesn't feel ready to become a full-time royal.The aide said:

"The Duke is fully committed to his foundation and charities, but he feels he has not yet got flying out of his system."

"The Royal family is fully supportive of the plan.Prince Charles has always wished he'd served longer with the Royal Navy. Such a plan would allow William time to see his wife Kate and child George most days. It would also allow the Cambridges more of the country life they enjoyed in Anglesey.
