William, who will marry long-time girlfriend Middleton on April 29 at Westminster Abbey, confessed that Britain's biggest royal wedding for 30 years would be "quite a daunting prospect."
Asked what elements of the wedding he was worried about, the second-in-line to the throne replied: "The whole thing."
"I was telling everyone I did the rehearsal the other day and my knees started tapping quite nervously," he said.
"It's quite a daunting prospect but very exciting and I'm thoroughly looking forward to it but there's still a lot of planning to be done in the last four weeks."
"I was worried your hat would blow off," the 28-year-old prince told her, before showing the queen and his grandfather Prince Philip around an RAF Sea King helicopter for their first glimpse of his working life.
William has taken part in 12 search and rescue missions since joining the squadron in September following intensive training.
The missions have included rescuing someone who fell off a cliff in Anglesey and someone who had a suffered a suspected heart attack.
In the interview, the prince described the rescue helicopter team as a "big family in the sky".
"It's definitely advanced flying and it's rewarding, so put the two together and it's a fantastic job," he said.
"It's rewarding because every day you come into work you don't quite know what's going to happen, it's quite exciting in that sense, it's unpredictable."
He added: "Having witnessed it for the past few months, I'm very proud to be amongst the search and rescue guys and very privileged to be flying with some of the best pilots I think in the world."
But he added that sometimes the job could get "hairy", joking "especially with someone like me at the controls".
William will continue to work as a pilot after the wedding and he and Kate will continue to live near the base.
