Prince William Appoints New Equerry, Fellow Helicopter Pilot Mike Reynolds

Reynolds, an RAF Squadron Leader, shares a passion for aviation and a fresh bearded look with the Prince of Wales.

Prince William has hired Squadron Leader Mike Reynolds as his new equerry, replacing Lieutenant Commander Rob Dixon.
Reynolds, like Prince William, is a trained helicopter pilot, having served in the Royal Air Force.
The equerry role involves assisting with public engagements, managing the royal diary, and ensuring smooth operations of the Prince's official duties.
Both men are currently sporting beards, a notable change for Prince William who has traditionally been clean-shaven.
Prince William has maintained a strong connection to aviation, recently visiting Airbus Helicopter headquarters and expressing a desire to fly again.
