Prince William makes secret visit to Afghanistan

Prince William flew into Afghanistan for a secret visit earlier this week to meet British troops.

William left the UK on Sunday and piloted a C-17 Globemaster transport plane for part of the flight to Kandahar in the south Afghanistan. He then spent three hours on the ground there meeting military personnel.

Prince William then flew on to the Al-Udeid airfield in Qatar, returning to the UK on Monday afternoon.
