Wills In Boots Dash Row

Prince William has been accused of wasting taxpayers' money after he was flown home in an RAF fighter jet to pick up a pair of boots.

The 25-minute trip is said to have cost around £20,000.

William flew from Anglesey, North Wales, to RAF Lyneham in Wiltshire in an RAF Hawk.

It is understood he spent the night at Prince Charles's Highgrove Estate before being driven to Sandhurst military academy in Surrey, where he is an officer cadet.


Military sources have been quoted as saying the trip would have taken up to five hours by car.

A Clarence House spokesman said: "Like every cadet, Prince William is required to undertake preparatory work prior to his entrance at Sandurst next year.

"The RAF were keen that he had a programme that familiarised him with the full range of work that they do."

William is currently on work experience in Snowdownia with an Airforce mountain rescue team.
