What happens when Prince William crashes a million pound plane: nothing. It all happened during the Royal Air Force training - some thing that the prince has been doing to learn the skills to become a Seacrh and Research Officer - when he unknowingly pressed a wrong button.

The incident occured when he was preparing to land a Tucano – a two sit turboprop basic trainer, used by the royal airforce for training purposes. Prince, however, allegedly grounded the plane, leaving the engine 'overcooked' and out of action. Engineering chief, Joe Watt, said the incident was not unprecedented.

"He's not the only one. Better pilots than him have done it," the Sun quoted Watt as saying. Buckingham Palace added: There was no damage done. See, I had told you about the aftermath already. It's princely affair after all.
