“I think he's someone who needs a discipline,” expert Andrew Lownie said. “I think the services were good for him. There was a focus there and and a discipline.”

“He's absolutely fascinated by simulations of planes landing – going back to his pilot training,” Lownie revealed.

This comes days after a stranger reportedly tried to harass the former prince in Wolferton.

Norfolk Police spokesperson said a man was put behind bars: “Officers were called to Wolferton shortly after 7.30pm yesterday (Wednesday 6 May 2026) following a report a man was behaving in an intimidating manner in the village.

“Officers attended, and the man was arrested on suspicion of a public order offence and possession of an offensive weapon. He was taken to King’s Lynn Police Investigation Centre for questioning and remains in custody.”
