It was reported that around the age of 12, Prince George might stop flying with his father, Prince William, 42, who is next in line for the throne.
Although George flew with the Prince of Wales Many times in the past it has been thought that change could be introduced to protect the future of the monarchy.
King Charles’ former pilot, Graham Laurie, claimed that Prince William stopped flying with his father, King Charles, around that age.
Speaking of Hello! On the magazine’s A Right Royal podcast, he said: “Interestingly enough, we flew all four of them: the Prince [King Charles]the princess [Princess Diana]Prince William and Prince Harryuntil Prince William turns 12.”
When William was 12, he “needed a separate aircraft,” according to Graham.
He added that the family of four “could only fly all four together” when William and Harry were boys “with the written permission of Her Majesty”.
The pilot shared that after William’s 12th birthday, he would “normally fly a 125 from Northolt”, while he would “fly the 146 with the other three on”.
This way, if an accident were to tragically occur, both heirs would not be injured.
If the rule is still in place, Prince George could also be barred from flying with his family unless given permission by King Charles.
He could also fly with his mother, Princess Kate, and his siblings, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six, – and William fly separately – to make the experience less daunting.
George has been seen disembarking planes with his father on several occasions, including Germany trip in 2017.
The late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have had reservations about Prince William flying with Prince George in a helicopter.
Royal biographer Robert Jobson wrote in Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed that the monarch expressed her concerns.
He wrote: “She had harsh words with William after he defied her wishes by taking a helicopter flight to Norfolk with his entire immediate family.
“She warned him against flying with George in case of an accident, telling her grandson that he should always be aware of the succession.”
