Prince William’s pre-wedding celebrations are so future King-coded.

The Prince of Wales, who will celebrate his 15th wedding anniversary with his life partner Kate Middleton on Wednesday, April 29, has paid a surprise visit to RAF Valley for a special occasion.

On Tuesday, April 28, William marked RAF Valley’s 85th anniversary in Anglesey, where he once served as a search-and-rescue pilot.

Taking to his joint Instagram account with his wife, Catherine, the future monarch shared a moving statement to celebrate the historic royal event.

"Today marking RAF Valley’s 85th anniversary in Anglesey," with a throwback snap of His Royal Highness from his training era in 2011.

William, 43, attended the 85th anniversary in his military uniform as he observed the parade in his honour.

He also presented the Prince of Wales award to the best Qualifying Flying Instructor.
