Prince George warned to stop taking trip with Prince William: Here's Why

Prince George's life is set to undergo a significant change as he turns 12 this year, marking a milestone that will affect his travel arrangements as a key member of the Royal Family. As the second in line to the throne and the son of Prince William, George will now be required to travel separately from his father when flying, in accordance with Royal Family protocols designed to ensure the safety of heirs to the throne.

This rule is intended to protect the line of succession by preventing both heirs from being on the same aircraft in case of an unfortunate event. Graham Laurie, King Charles' former pilot, spoke about this tradition on HELLO Magazine's 'A Right Royal Podcast.' He explained, "Interestingly, we flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William, and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old. 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. 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."

This change for Prince George mirrors the experience of his father, Prince William, who also began flying separately from his father, King Charles, upon reaching the same age.
