Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge had had to make an emergency landing following an electrical storm above Islamabad, which they are currently visiting as part of their royal tour of Pakistan.
Today, the couple visited went on a visit to the Badshahi mosque in Lahore. They then headed back to their private plane. But after leaving Lahore the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge reportedly experienced a dramatic flight which resulted in an emergency landing.
After boarding a plane, bound for Islamabad, an electrical storm is said to have erupted, with lightning visible over the right wing.
The flight was supposed to take about 25 minutes, but the plane was in the air for two hours.
The plane reportedly circled Pakistan's capital city for about an hour, twice attempting to land, but they were unable to do so, so had to turn back to land in Lahore.
An eyewitness reported that they saw lightning strike close to the plane, and that it 'bumped and rolled' with the weather's turbulence, which can't have been much fun for anyone on board.
The good news is that the couple are totally fine. After a safe landing, Prince William - an erstwhile helicopter himself – reassured everyone that while it was scary, they were absolutely fine. He apparently even joked that he was the one doing the flying.
