Prince William, Prince of Wales visited the London Ambulance Service at their headquarters in Waterloo to mark 60 years of service.
The future king hosted Pauline Cranmer, who was appointed chief paramedic at LAS last May, becoming Britain’s first female chief paramedic.
The London Ambulance Service is the largest ambulance service in the UK, serving the millions of residents of the capital.
Later, Kensington Palace shared photos of Prince William in Instagram stories with the Prince of Wales’ statements.
The palace says on behalf of Prince William: “Marking 60 years of the London Ambulance Service.”
Captioning another image, Prince William says: “Heard from paramedics and emergency workers about the challenges of their lifesaving work.”
The palace also revealed that Prince William saw the world’s first purpose-built all-electric ambulance and took part in a training demonstration with a specialist doctor.
Prince William has a strong affinity for emergency workers, having witnessed the unique challenges this community faces on a daily basis through his roles as both an air ambulance and RAF Search and Rescue pilot.
The future king also became patron of the College of Paramedics earlier this year.
