William is decades older than his father was when he became heir to the throne, with the new King being just three years old when his grandfather died and he became the Prince of Wales. Due to this, William has had a much more gradual introduction to the role, spending time as an RAF search and rescue pilot and later as a pilot for the East Anglian Air Ambulance.
He only became a full-time royal at the age of 35 in 2017, when he stepped down from his air ambulance role. William has focused much of his charitable work on mental health, particularly trying to break the stigma surrounding men’s mental health.
