Prince George and Princess Charlotte will be separated when royal rule comes into force
ok.co.ukPrince George is set for a big change when he turns 12 in July next year due to a traditional Royal rule.The protocol will come into effect because of his standing as second in line to the throne after his dad, Prince William, as it restricts certain royals from travelling together to the same place.
The insight into this intriguing regulation came from King Charles's ex-pilot, Graham Laurie, who revealed: "We flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old".
He said once William hit 12, they required a special document from the ruling monarch, the late Queen Elizabeth, giving them special permission to travel together. "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.", reports the Express.
While the provision will soon apply to young Prince George, it's yet to be seen whether it will require him to fly separately from William, Kate Middleton and his siblings, Charlotte and Louis, or if Prince William will fly solo while George travels with his mum and siblings.
