Islamabad: Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton's plane was forced to abort its landing twice and return to Lahore on Thursday after being caught in a terrifying severe thunderstorm but told reporters travelling with them that they were fine.

The Royal Air Force (RAF) Voyager with the royals, who were on their way back to the UK after a four-day official trip to Pakistan, was forced to abort attempted landings at the Rawalpindi airbase and the Islamabad international airport due to bad weather, reported the Express Tribune.
