"It really is a new era for Prince William. Nearly two months after the birth of his first child Prince George, Britain&amp;apos;s future King has left the armed forces, having completed his tour as a Royal Air Force Pilot, Kensington Palace announced in a statement Thursday, Sept. 12.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge is to leave operational service in the Armed Forces,&amp;quot; the statement reads. &amp;quot;He completes his Tour with the Royal Air Force Search and Rescue Force at RAF Valley, Anglesey, after more than seven-and-a-half years of full-time military service.&amp;quot;\r\nWorking with grandmother Queen Elizabeth, wife Kate Middleton, brother Prince Harry and the entire Royal Family, the 31-year-old is &amp;quot;currently considering a number of options for public service,&amp;quot; the statement continues. The Duke of Cambridge has been a Search and Rescue helicopter pilot since January 2009, serving in the Royal Air Force Valley in Angelsey, Wales since 2010.\r\n\r\nWith his military career behind him, William plans to &amp;quot;expand his work in the field of conservation, particularly in respect of endangered species,&amp;quot; the statement continues.  One major way William plans to expand that endeavor is via &amp;quot;United for Wildlife,&amp;quot; a brand-new partnership between the Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry and seven of the world&amp;apos;s most influential conservation organizations, which will focus on illegal wildlife trade and other conservation crises.\r\n\r\nWilliam and the Duchess, 31 -- along with Prince George, of course -- will finally move into their official residence at London&amp;apos;s Kensington Palace &amp;quot;within the next few weeks,&amp;quot; the Palace added.\r\nAdds a source of William&amp;apos;s long-term career plans: &amp;quot;This is a transitional year for the Duke&amp;#x2026; He is still considering his options.&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
