Prince William reveals his 'happy place'

The Prince of Wales said flying is his "happy place" during a visit to an RAF base with the Crown Prince of Jordan. The prince reminisced about the "glory days" of serving with the RAF Search and Rescue Force.

When he met former colleagues at RAF Benson near Oxford, William opened up about his passion. "I do still fly, yeah – I keep my hours going," he said, via PA. "When you learn that skill set, you just don’t want it to go. I’ve definitely lost a lot of the skills I had, but I like to keep on top of my flying, keep doing it.

"And it's my happy place, I love flying," he added. 

William served with the Search and Rescue Force for a three-year tour. He left the Armed Forces in 2013. The future King went on to serve as a helicopter pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance for two years before stepping down in July 2017.

Royal snacks

I love this story on King Charles' favorite snacks, some of which aren't even made anymore but will receive a special run just for the monarch.

In the rolling hills of the Scottish Highlands in the village of Aberlour is the factory of Walker's shortbread, a family business that has stood the test of time for over 125 years.

During a visit to Aberlour, she shared her memories of meeting with Charles and told HELLO!: "The King has his very specific favorite biscuits. There are even biscuits that we don't make anymore that he would occasionally request, and so we might make a special run for him."
