A royal expert says Prince William and Kate Middleton defied orders from Her Majesty about using helicopters as a mode of transport.
that Prince William’s use of helicopters as a mode of transportation—especially when he brings his wife, Kate Middleton, and their three children with him—terrifies the Queen. As many royals, including the Queen herself, set off for their annual summer holiday, the five Cambridges left Kensington Palace on Monday for their own vacation, and boarded a helicopter to get there.
“In order to protect the heirs to the throne, it is a rule that two or more heirs to the throne cannot travel in the same plane,”reports. “In the event that a plane carrying several heirs crashed, the future of the monarchy would be immediately unstable. While George is currently treated the same as other members of the royal family—and can travel with his family following permission from the Queen—once he turns 12, he will be required to fly separately from his father.
While, thankfully, plane crashes are less common today, the Queen’s husband Prince Philip lost his sister, Princess Cecile, in a plane crash in 1937. The Queen’s uncle, Prince George, Duke of Kent died in a plane crash in 1942, and her cousin, Prince William of Gloucester, died while competing in an air show in 1972.Rachel Burchfield is a writer whose primary interests are fashion and beauty, society and culture, and, most especially, the British Royal Family.
