Prince William keen to extend military career
Prince William is keen to extend his RAF service beyond next year, it has emerged.
According to a report from The Daily Telegraph, the Duke is keen to start a family away from the media spotlight and will therefore abandon his Royal Duties in favour of an extended career as an RAF serviceman.
This may mean the Prince takes a longer look at his military insurance policy after he returns from his current posting in the Falklands in 2013. He joined an RAF team there last week and is said to be thoroughly enjoying it so far.
Despite this being a break from recent royal tradition, an aide to the Royal Family has confirmed that there has been no conflict with regards to William's decision.
Speaking to The Sydney Morning Herald, the spokesman said: "The Duke is very keen on his flying, very good at it, and he wants to continue with his military career. Should the Duke and Duchess choose to have children within the next few years, he is keen to bring them up as children of a serviceman for as long as possible.
"He is no hurry to take up a more prominent role within the royal family, and there is absolutely no pressure from the Queen or anywhere within the royal household for him to do so."
