CELEBRITYPrince George and Princess Charlotte to be ‘separated’ next year due to royal protocol.
Princess Charlotte and brother Prince George are set to be separated next year. Royal protocol and tradition from over the years says that that heirs to the Royal Family throne shouldn’t travel on the same flight from the age of 12.
It means from next year, 11-year-old George will not be permitted to travel with his parents and younger siblings, Princess Charlotte, nine, and Prince Louis, six. Former royal pilot Graham Laurie previously told Hello!: “I know the King is trying to cut down cost and is aware of travel, but I think the safety side is still paramount
Interestingly, we flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until when 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
What we did in the end, when William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 or the Andover out with the other three on. Up until then, they probably thought it will be too much for him travelling on his own. But nevertheless, that’s what they did.
