“Royal Protocol May Force Heartbreaking Separation Between Prince William and Prince George, Say Experts”…Full details

Prince George recently turned 12 years old, and according to royal experts, one “morbid rule” is now expected to go into effect.

Royal protocol advises that George will no longer be allowed to fly with his father, Prince William. Heirs are required to fly separately to preserve the line of succession should an accident occur while they are traveling. William, 43, is heir to the throne.

“The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children are the future of the royal family,” royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams told Fox News Digital. “Accidents do happen, and this seems like a sensible precaution which ought to be observed, as it was with King Charles and William during Queen Elizabeth’s reign.”

There are reports that the king and William, who is a pilot, disagree over this,” Fitzwilliams shared. “But it should be necessary to point out that Harry is fifth in line to the throne… and only four working royals are under 70… The need for Prince George as second in line to the throne to fly separately from his father surely makes sense.”

Fox News Digital reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.
The king’s former pilot, Graham Laurie, previously confirmed on “A Right Royal Podcast” that he initially flew Charles, William, Harry and Princess Diana together, but that changed when William turned 12, Us Weekly reported.

After that, he had to have a separate aircraft, and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty,” said Laurie, as quoted by the outlet. “When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt, and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on.”
