The heir to the throne was informed of the tragedy in the Cairngorms, which appears to have begun when Rimon Than's party triggered the snowfall.
Squadron Leader Than, 33, was based at RAF Valley in North Wales, where the Duke is currently stationed, and died along with a female member of the RAF and a man from another party, neither of whom have yet been named.
