Yet although he will head back to Anglesey immediately after his return to Britain, the prince is considering a return to Scotland as early as 2013, according to a senior RAF source.
|
It is understood the couple are keen to return to the country where their romance blossomed and for which they have a deep-seated affection.
|
A move to Lossiemouth in Moray would mean they were conveniently close to the Royal Estate at Balmoral and neighbouring Birkhall where the couple have spent several holidays.
|
They would also be near St Andrews where William has signed up to be patron of the university's forthcoming 600th anniversary celebration appeal.
|
From a professional point of view, a transfer to Lossiemouth would allow the prince - currently trained as a co-pilot - to work in the busy search and rescue centre.
|
Lossiemouth was also the prince's second choice - behind RAF Valley - for his first posting.
|
A senior RAF source said: 'Lossiemouth is simply considered the best place for an RAF search and rescue pilot.
|
'It has a great combination of mountain and sea work but covering more and bigger mountains than Wales. It offers more variety and action.
|
The Royal couple currently rent a £750-a-month cottage on Anglesey while Prince William remains stationed at RAF Valley.
|
He is signed up for a three-year stint in the RAF - which comes to an end in 2013.
|
After that the 29-year-old prince has several possible options: He could either leave the RAF to take on full-time royal duties; he could remain at RAF Valley; or he could transfer to another RAF search and rescue centre.
|
One aide explained that William intends to complete at least six years of service - believing that it is only fair, having received pilot training worth around £800,000, that he should repay the RAF's investment in him.
|
The aide also pointed out that St Andrews University celebrates its milestone 600th anniversary in 2013.
|
William is patron for a fundraising campaign at the historic establishment, where he met future wife Kate Middleton, and the couple returned to help launch the £100 million appeal last February.
|
The aide warned that the moves of royal family members are always subject to change but said the transfer to Lossiemouth was currently the prince's first choice.
|
He said: 'A move to Lossiemouth for Prince William and Catherine is part of a long-term forecast but this is the preferred option.
|
'It will allow the Duke to continue his RAF career while experiencing a different base and the couple always enjoy their time in Scotland.
|
The prince and his wife are also known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, or the Earl and Countess of Strathearn when in Scotland. They are expected to be gifted Princess Margaret's former apartment in Kensington Palace in London after a £1million renovation, due to be complete in 2013.
|
William is currently earning £37,170 as a flight leiutenant. Promotion to squadron leader is not normally considered until four years after becoming a flight lieutenant - and then William will have to compete with many others throughout the service for the limited number of yearly upgrade in rank.

A package worth £3.2m per year has been offered to communities near a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset.
|
The deal, totalling £128m, will last for 40 years, which is the planned lifetime of Hinkley Point C.
|
Somerset County and West Somerset councils will get the money but will also share it with Sedgemoor council.
|
The government package is separate to the £100m pledged by the developer, EDF Energy, to build infrastructure.
|
All three councils in Somerset have welcomed the fund and local communities will decide how the money is spent.
|
Energy minister Michael Fallon said: "It's proportionate to the scale and lifespan of new nuclear power stations and it builds on the major economic benefits they will bring in terms of jobs, investment and use of local services."
|
Theo Simon, from Stop Hinkley Campaign, said: "It looks to me this is another case of trying to ease the way for this project which is in quite deep water and I'm not sure will be carried through anyway.
|
"It's not a lot of money - it's talked about as if it's a sort of compensation or reward, but it's really an acknowledgement that people in Somerset still feel profoundly unhappy about the whole plan for Hinkley C.
|
"Rather than seeing it as compensation we should see it as a social bribe."
|
Although approval has been given, the project has stalled as EDF Energy is still in talks with ministers over what it can charge for the amount of electricity it will generate at Hinkley Point C.
|
For about the first 10 years the government money will be made up of business rates retained locally.
|
Cash in the second phase, from 2030-2060, will come directly from the Department for Energy and Climate Change.
|
"Projects of this size and complexity have an impact on local areas, it is only fair that they should see a sizeable sum to compensate them," said John Osman, leader of the county council.
|
The sum has been based on the amount of energy the power station generates - up to 1,000/MW per annum for up to 40 years.
|
Previously Sedgemoor District Council had been arguing for the funding to be activated during the construction phase but this was rejected by the government in May, although it was recommended by a select committee looking into the issue.
|
Under an agreement to build and run the facility, EDF Energy is set to give £64m which will be used for education, training, transport and housing.
|
The firm has also given a further £30m to local services for site preparation works, which started in February last year.
|
Dr Doug Parr, chief scientist at Greenpeace UK, said: "Whilst wind farms and even shale gas developers have to pay community benefits, only nuclear stations will get a fat taxpayer subsidy to fund them.
|
"Our entire energy policy is now absurdly distorted by the desperation to prop up EDF's faltering Hinkley C project, with the Government piling the costs on to the taxpayer to avoid the embarrassment of admitting they backed the wrong technology.
|
"We can't go on like this."

Underpinning the global economy is a vast infrastructure that is inherently complex. However, excess complexity that manifests itself in lack of innovation or poor customer service is a significant problem causing real and quantifiable business damage today, according to a survey of 749 business managers conducted in 2015 by Harvard Business Review Analytic Services.
|
The good news is that many organisations acknowledge they have a problem with excess complexity, and many have taken steps to better manage it. Read this paper to find out more.

The case against former Ohio State Diving Club assistant coach William Bohonyi progressed in December with filings to the court from both the defense and prosecution.
|
While no new hearings were scheduled, December saw a request from the defense to travel out of state, a filing of a bill of particulars and an intention to use evidence.
|
Bohonyi is being charged with four counts related to inappropriate sexual behavior with a minor — who was a member of the diving club — during his time as an instructor, including three counts of sexual battery and one count of pandering to a minor.
|
The bill of particulars filed to the court on Dec. 21, which outlines the four charges, lists the times and locations of the offenses leading to the charges and shows that all took place in the Neil Avenue Parking Garage spanning from July 2014 to March 2015. During arraignment, the prosecution noted that the incidents took place in Bohonyi’s car.
|
The pandering charge, according to the bill of particulars, stems from the recording of one of the sexual encounters.
|
“The defendant WIlliam Anthony Bohonyi, Jr., did, with knowledge of the character of the material or performance involved, create, record, photograph, film, develop, reproduce or publish material that shows a minor participating or engaging in sexual activity…” the document stated.
|
Bohonyi was accused of coercing the 16-year-old female athlete to engage in sexual acts in July 2014 both on campus and during a competition in Maryland, according to a lawsuit filed July 11 in Indianapolis federal district court, which led to criminal charges being brought by the State of Ohio.
|
Ohio State was initially listed as a defendant in the lawsuit in Indianapolis, but was dismissed from the case in August.
|
“We have always maintained that — fully consistent with our core value of protecting the safety and well-being of those we serve in our community — the university handled this matter appropriately,” Ohio State spokesman Ben Johnson said in a previous statement.
|
Also filed by the prosecution on Dec. 21 was a document listing the evidence that they intend to use in the case. The evidence listed included audio interviews, cell phone, iPhone and iPad extractions and a DVD that is listed as protected.
|
The final filings that took place in December were requests by the defense to allow Bohonyi to travel to Pennsylvania to spend Christmas with family. The request was filed on Dec. 17 and sought permission to leave Ohio on Dec. 21 and return on Dec. 28, traveling with his girlfriend and her children while meeting all other requirements of his bond, such as no unsupervised contact with minors.
|
The request was granted by Franklin County Court of Common Pleas Judge Michael Holbrook and the bond was modified on Dec. 18 to allow Bohonyi to travel.
|
“Based upon the written motion of the defendant, and for good cause shown, the court hereby modifies his bond to allow defendant to travel to Pennsylvania, leaving December 22, 2018 and returning no later than 9 p.m. on December 28, 2018,” Holbrook said in his entry approving the modification.
|
Ohio State conducted an investigation into the allegations made by the diver when it said it first learned of the relationship in August 2014. The investigation concluded that there was not enough evidence to suggest sexual interactions between the two took place, but that there was reason to believe a relationship existed. The report also concluded Bohonyi convinced the diver to lie about the relationship and that he contradicted himself to investigators.
|
Bohonyi was fired from the university on Aug. 29, 2014.
|
Johnson had previously said the university notified Franklin County Children’s Services, the Ohio State University Police Division, Maryland law enforcement and USA Diving when it first learned about Bohonyi’s alleged abuse in 2014.

The Washington Nationals have assigned OF Michael Taylor to the Potomac Nationals, where he will begin a rehabilitation assignment. The centerfielder will be with the P-Nats beginning Mondaynight, as Potomac hosts the Lynchburg Hillcats (Cleveland Indians) at 7:05pm.
|
The 26-year-old Taylor was placed on the 10-day Disabled List with an oblique strain on July 7th, and Mondaynight will mark his first game action since the injury.
|
Taylor has appeared in 72 games this season with Washington. The right-handed hitting outfielder has hit 12 home runs and driven in 35 runs for the Nationals in 2017. A .278 hitter thus far this season, Taylor is 10-13 in stolen base attempts, and has already set a career high with 16 doubles. Taylor is one extra-base hit shy of tying his career high with 31 XBH’s.
|
A two-year starter for the P-Nats, Taylor played in 242 games for The Red, White, & Blue over the 2012 and 2013 seasons. In two years with Potomac, Taylor tallied 74 doubles, 13 home runs, and 124 RBIs.
|
The Nationals drafted the Fort Lauderdale native out of Westminster Academy in the sixth round of the 2009 MLB Draft. After four seasons in the minors, Taylor made his MLB debut on 8/12/14 against the New York Mets. In his debut, Taylor went 2-4 with a home run and two RBIs.
|
Taylor joins the P-Nats for the opener of the three-game series vs. the Hillcats, while the length of the rehab stint is still TBD.
|
First pitch between Potomac and Lynchburg on Monday night at Pfitzner Stadium is set for 7:05pm, while gates will open at 6:00pm.
