Fatherhood as demanding as being rescue pilot: Prince William

London: Prince William said on Wednesday that being a father is as "demanding" as being a search and rescue pilot for the Royal Air Force.

The Duke of Cambridge, who became a father just three weeks ago with the birth of his son George, was making a visit to his Royal Air Force (RAF) base at Anglesey in Wales.

It was one of Prince William's first public engagements since the birth of Prince George in London on July 22.

"I have to say that I thought search and rescue duties over Snowdonia were physically and mentally demanding, but ooking after a three-week-old baby is up there... he's pretty loud but of course very good-looking," he said during a speech at the Anglesey's annual agricultural show.
