William And Harry Help With Flood Relief

The Royal princes have made an unannounced visit to a flood-hit village in Berkshire, to help colleagues from the Armed Forces shore up flood defences. Dressed in waterproofs and wellington boots, William and Harry volunteered alongside the Household Cavalry on Friday morning in Datchet, Berkshire.

The Duke of Cambridge and his brother worked from around 6am, helping residents protect their properties with sandbags. Kensington Palace said: "The Princes have both seen the pictures. They wanted to do their bit to help in a private capacity.

"The most appropriate way was through the Armed Forces relief effort."
