SNOWDANIA, England — A retired British judge who was flown to hospital by Prince William after suffering a heart attack on a mountain walk said Monday he was stunned to learn who had rescued him.
Nick Barnett, 70, told the BBC that a nurse aboard the Royal Air Force search and rescue helicopter had whispered in his ear that Prince William was at the controls during the incident last Wednesday.
He was flown to Bangor hospital in Wales, where William is based.
“I didn’t set out to be rescued by Prince William.
I’d planned a nice day on the hills and to have a nice pint of beer,” said the judge, who is recovering in the hospital.
