Prince George BURST INTO TEARS After Receiving HUGE Privilege From William Over Security Demand
Today’s highlight centers on a significant milestone: Prince George just turned 12. In royal protocol, this age brings an important change — members of the line of succession are typically no longer allowed to travel together. This raises the question: will Prince George and his father, Prince William, start traveling separately?
Historically, the royal family has often traveled together by car, helicopter, or private jet. So, will this protocol now affect their travel habits?
A former royal helicopter pilot, Graham Lurie, revealed on the Right Royal Podcast that when Prince William turned 12, he stopped flying with King Charles to protect the succession line. If an accident happened, this protocol ensured the monarchy’s future wouldn’t be at risk. Lurie explained, “We flew all four—Charles, Diana, William, and Harry—together until William was 12. After that, he had to have a separate aircraft.”
Royal fans have mixed reactions—some find the rule surprising, while others remember hearing about it growing up. One panelist pointed out it’s not just logistics, but about protecting the future of the monarchy.
This creates a bit of a conundrum for William. Long-haul flights with George might become tricky. Will the family continue to travel together, or will William fly solo to comply with tradition? It’s especially interesting given William’s role as an eco-warrior and founder of the Earthshot Prize—perhaps scheduled flights could keep their carbon footprint steady?
Regardless, the Wales family seems to carefully select which high-profile events their children attend. As second in line, George will also need to become familiar with official duties, so some solo travel is likely.
Meanwhile, new photos from royal favorite photographer Josh Skinner offer a heartwarming glimpse into the family. George looks poised and mature, while he, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis share joyful, affectionate moments that remind us—they’re still kids at heart, growing up in a grounded, loving household despite the pressures of public life.
