While visiting the RAF Coningsby, Kate Middleton shared that Prince Louis hopes to become a fighter pilot.
Military training is expected of royals once they reach a certain age.
Prince William previously served as a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force.

Kate Middleton was gifted model Typhoons for Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis during the outing. "Somebody told us that your children were very excited about you seeing a plane," they shared. "They'll be very upset that I've seen a Typhoon without them," Kate admitted.

Kate Middleton was able to do a loop the loop in an RAF Typhoon jet simulator during her time at RAF Coningsby, leaving Group Captain
Paul O'Grady impressed.
"She seems to be a natural pilot, so we might have to get her qualified and get her flying a Typhoon, if she's up for it," O'Grady said, per
Marie Claire.
