He's back! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been reunited – after being apart for seven weeks – when he returned from duty in the remote south Atlantic.Early Wednesday morning, William, 29, flew back from the Falkland Islands to Britain with the rest of his Royal Air Force Search and Rescue helicopter crew.
As is normal for servicemen's partners, Kate, 30 was not there to watch his return to an airbase in the English countryside.
The plan was for her to meet up with him at their cottage at Kensington Palace later. He will also see members of his family, such as grandmother Queen Elizabeth, and no doubt re-bond with puppy Lupo.
It is anticipated that William will have several days off, which the couple "will spend privately," a spokesman says. Kate is not expected to be undertaking any public engagements for several weeks.
William will next have to report for duty at his airbase in Anglesey, North Wales.
