PRINCE William had to dash into a pub for a pee while on a helicopter rescue.
The air ambulance pilot was bursting after landing in a field to help a critically-ill man.
Prince William was caught short while on a air ambulance emergency response
After assisting medics, he nipped across the paddock to a closed gastropub, to the surprise of its staff.
A source said: “He opened the door and very politely said, ‘Good morning . . . can I use your toilet?’.
“Of course they said yes.
“Bar staff were stunned when the prince gave them the thumbs-up.
“He was obviously bursting because he headed straight for the toilet.
“William wasn’t in there very long.
“I think the village was totally starstruck.
“It’s not often you get the heir to the throne popping in to use the WC.”
The prince visited The Tally Ho pub in Barkway, Herts, after the East Anglia Air Ambulance landed at 9am on Tuesday to help a man who had a cardiac arrest.
Some locals joked he was “too posh to pee outdoors”.
One said: “It looks like he’s too posh to wee outside, I’ve got a mate like that.
“He waits until he is busting and then has to rush to a toilet.
“If I were him I would be worried about being photographed as well and I guess it’s against company policy too.
“It’d be bad enough if a normal pilot was photographed doing it, let alone Prince William.”
Others were more open minded, Local Brian Holson, 75, added: “By using the local facilities he becomes part of the nation.
