During his family’s summer vacation at Balmoral, Prince William has taken time out to deliver a unique message for a cause that is very dear to his heart.
Resharing a post from London Air Ambulance on his official social media accounts on Friday, the Prince of Wales announced the organization’s success following a £15 million fundraising appeal. William attended the charity’s gala in February, his first public event after his wife, the Princess of Wales, underwent abdominal surgery.
He wrote: “Excellent news—this will have a life-saving impact” alongside the update. Many thanks to everyone who made a donation. W.”
During a stirring speech at the gala, William, a former pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance, emphasized the critical need for additional helicopters.
“The current aircraft have performed admirably here in London. But a new fleet is needed in our capital city.”
“Time is not on our side. The appellation’s name is actually the hint. We must have the two new red birds in our skies by September, equipped with the newest technology, like night vision.”
Just when William is getting ready to spend the summer with his wife and kids, this heartwarming post appears. As is customary at this time of year, Catherine is scheduled to travel to Scotland to be with her family while receiving preventative chemotherapy, according to The Mail on Sunday.
Balmoral seems to be the ideal place to relax, and the Firm is very fond of it. The royal family has long treasured their vacation home, which is situated in the Scottish Highlands.
During their childhood, Prince William, Prince Harry, Princess Eugenie, and Princess Beatrice all spent every summer there. Since then, they have brought their own kids to enjoy fishing, horseback riding, picnics, barbecues, and, of course, the infrequent sunshine.
In a poignant speech to the Church of Scotland’s General Assembly, William discussed the unique location by stating, “Scotland is the source of some of my happiest memories but also my saddest.” I was informed of my mother’s passing while I was in Balmoral.
“That very morning, still in shock, I took refuge in the service at Crathie Kirk, and in the gloomy days of grief that followed, I found peace and comfort in the Scottish countryside. I will always have a strong bond with Scotland as a result.
“This year, twenty years ago, I met Catherine here in Scotland, and that brings me immense joy in addition to this painful memory. It goes without saying that you have a very special place in your heart for the town where you meet your future wife.
“George, Charlotte, and Louis already know how dear Scotland is to both of us, and they are starting to build their own happy memories here too.”
