Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge has revealed she is learning to fly a plane.
The duchess whose father was a dispatcher for British Airways and mother was an airline hostess, said: ‘My grandfather [the late RAF pilot Peter Middleton] flew planes. I’ve had a few lessons on fixed wing.’
However, Kensington Palace has not confirmed the rumour that Kate was being taught by her Apache helicopter commander brother-in-law.
Prince Harry took lessons in flying fixed wing planes at the Army Air Corps base in Middle Wallop, Hampshire, in 2008.

Yesterday, the couple shocked commuters when they turned up at a central London train station in support of London Poppy Day.
Lisa Durchstecher, 24, from Hanover, who had just arrived at the station to take a tour of Kensington Palace, said: ‘We came from Germany to see Kensington Palace. This is a dream come true. We were screaming.’
The royals had arrived to the station aboard the Poppy Bus but were forced to jump into an official car to return home, due to the hordes of people waiting to catch a glimpse of them.
