Princes William and Harry have joined colleagues from the armed forces in helping to defend flooded Datchet, assisting with the supply of sandbags. A spokesperson said it was a "private effort".
Prince William approached journalists from the Guardian and said: “Why don’t you put your notebook down and give us a hand with the sandbags?”
William and Harry were spotted along with Prince Harry helping move sandbags in flood-hit Datchet.
However after reporters agreed to help, aides intervened and said it would not be possible due to a lack of appropriate clothing.
