William gives up pilot job to become full-time royal

Prince William will have spent two years as an East Anglian Air Ambulance pilot when he leaves in the summer

This will not have been an easy decision for Prince William to make.

For a second time, he's giving up a role he didn't inherit, but gained on merit.

After stints in the RAF and the air ambulance, his days as a pilot are coming to an end.
