London, April 14 : Prince William crashed a million pound plane during his Royal Air Force training after hitting a wrong button, it has emerged.

The 26-year-old, who is honing his skills to become a Search and Rescue Officer, was reportedly preparing to land a high-power Tucano.

But he allegedly grounded the plane, leaving the engine “overcooked” and out of action.

Engineering chief Joe Watt said the incident was not unprecedented.

“He’s not the only one. Better pilots than him have done it,” the Sun quoted Watt as saying.

Buckingham Palace added: “There was no damage done.” (ANI)
