The Prince of Wales has postponed an engagement at the Wattisham, Suffolk, regiments today due to harsh weather. Prince William, 42, Colonel-in-Chief, the Army Air Corps, was due to meet service personnel from across both units, observe elements of regular training, and have a firsthand introduction to the regiments today.

However, the weather conditions in Suffolk - misty with a gentle breeze, would have restricted William's planned programme, forcing him to cancel the occasion until further notice. Visits to the Army Air Corps regiment in Wattisham, described as s 'the pit stop crew for the Army's helicopters' online, are by appointment only.

William meets various soldiers in locations throughout the UK regularly, including at Picton Barracks, Bulford Camp, Wiltshire, last month. The father-of-three sent his sincere apologies to those at the Suffolk regiments who had been due to meet him, adding that he hopes to reschedule his visit at the earliest convenience.
William completed his training as a helicopter pilot in the RAF Search and Rescue Force back in 2010, later flying an air ambulance for two years before stepping down to take on more royal roles on behalf of Queen Elizabeth. Despite missing out on today's event, William yesterday surprised day drinkers at Wetherspoons on his way back from an official engagement.

The future king was spotted in the Birmingham New Street Station branch of the popular pub chain after appearing at an event to mark his new role as Patron of the College of Paramedics.
