Britain's Prince William has landed in trouble and quite literally. He allegedly used a Royal Air Force helicopter to drop in at his girl friend Kate Middleton's house on April 3.
Prince William landed a Chinook helicopter, which is used for transporting troops and equipment in war zones.
However, military sources say it was a part of a planned training exercise and because of lack in landing space the prince had to land there.
William, who is the second heir to the British throne and a second lieutenant in the British Army graduated as an Air Force pilot earlier this month.
''The aircraft landed in the field, after taking all necessary safety precautions, and was on the ground for 20 seconds,'' the ministry said. ''No one got on or off the aircraft.''
The military lacks landing sites and often seeks permission from landowners to use their fields for training exercises, the statement said.
The prince and Kate Middleton have dated since they were students at St Andrews University in Scotland. Middleton's parents are self-made millionaires who run a children's party favors mail-order company from their farm in southern England.
The farm is 16 miles northwest of Odiham air force base, where the prince began his flight.
William received his air force wings, the traditional badge given to graduate pilots, on April 11 after four months in the air force learning to pilot helicopters and planes. His training was designed to make him a competent, but not operational, flier.
