William married Catherine Middleton and was made Duke of Cambridge, beginning his official royal duties.

William was deployed to the Falkland Islands for a six-week tour with No. 1564 Flight, sparking controversy from the Argentine government.

William's active service as an RAF search-and-rescue pilot ended, and he began to focus more on his royal duties.

Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, William's father succeeded as Charles III, and William was created Prince of Wales.
