A proper antidote to all those workshy scroungers and benefit cheats, constantly harping on about "PIP this" and "PIP that", the prince shows what real work is!
He's really been roughing it with our brave boys in a "a freezing cold, mud-churned military training area", riding in a tank...yes, in a tank no less and there's more!
He was "in camouflage uniform" and doing a bit of "peering" from it!
Wills and "Charlie sausage fingers" will need new medals made for this exceptional display of derring-do! Real Boy's Own stuff...makes yer proud to be British!

Prince William sends strong message from tank near Russian border

If royal visits are about sending a message, then the picture of the Prince of Wales in a tank near the Russian border must be one of the most direct.

Prince William has come to Estonia to support UK troops in what is now the British Army's biggest operational deployment overseas, defending the Baltic state from the threat of Russia.

On Friday, in a freezing cold, mud-churned military training area, the prince saw the soldiers and military equipment guarding Nato's eastern flank.

The prince, in camouflage uniform, peering from a Challenger 2 tank and then an armoured fighting vehicle, was sending a signal about the UK's commitment to deter any aggression from Russia.

During his two-day trip to Estonia, Prince William visited some of the 900 British troops in this multinational force, including soldiers of the Mercian regiment of which the prince is colonel-in-chief.

He was given a tour of the military training grounds at Tapa Camp - part of Operation Cabrit which is the UK's contribution to secure Nato's "collective security and defence" in this vulnerable Baltic region.

The prince, who was wearing a Nato badge on his uniform, was shown field training for this battlegroup, meeting Estonian and French troops too.

He asked soldiers about their deployment in terms of the "context of being so near to Russia" and wondered whether this felt more real than previous training.

This is what deterrence to Russia looks like on the ground - and the base shows how much the balance of power can shift...

...As well as riding in a Challenger 2 tank, the prince saw a Warrior armoured vehicle, a French Griffon fighting vehicle, a multiple launch rocket system, a Trojan vehicle for clearing obstacles and he drove an Archer mobile artillery system...

..."The Ukrainian resilience is everywhere," Prince William told the students. "You have a very good spirit, very good souls, it's very important."
