The Prince spoke emotionally of his team and experiences, saying: “As part of the team, I have been invited into people’s homes to share moments of extreme emotion, from relief that we have given someone a fighting chance, to profound grief.
Praising the team, he said: “I have watched as incredibly skilled doctors and paramedics have saved people’s lives.
“These experiences have instilled in me a profound respect for the men and women who serve in our emergency services, which I hope to continue to champion even as I leave the profession.
