Four days after saving a 16-year-old girl from drowning off the coast of Wales, the prince came to the rescue of an injured Canadian tourist in North Wales.
Darlene Burton, 58, of Barrie, Ont., was hiking with her husband along the coast on the island of Anglesey when she fell and broke a leg on Monday.
Her husband, Lawrence Oakley, says a helicopter was called in to transfer Burton to a local hospital.
Oakley says a Royal Air Force Sea King helicopter arrived shortly after and that's when they noticed that Prince William was the pilot.
Burton was flown to a hospital in Bangor, Wales where she underwent surgery.
Prince William has been a search and rescue pilot with the British Royal Air Force since September 2010.
