Prince William has had petrol bombs thrown at him during a training session, it was claimed today.
The private exercise at a police station comes as the 31-year-old Duke of Cambridge prepares to take on more royal duties and looks to ensure he can protect his family in the event of an attack.
The secret session was revealed by a daughter of one of the officers involved in the exercise, who wrote on a social network: ‘My dad threw a petrol bomb at Prince William — what a claim to fame’.
William was said to have visited the Metropolitan Police’s £50million facility in Gravesend, Kent, reported The Sunday Telegraph, three months after his wife Kate gave birth to Prince George.
His visit comes three years after dramatic pictures showed a shocked Duchess of Cornwall besieged by a mob in a royal limousine as she and Prince Charles were driven through London’s West End.
