Prince William ‘to Break Royal Tradition’ that Would See Prince George Separated From Him when Turning 12
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 19 – Royal protocol mandates Prince William and Prince George travel separately after George turns 12 to protect the line of succession, a practice rooted in past family air accidents.
- On July 22, 2025, Prince George, second in line to the British throne, faces a tradition originating from Princess Diana, causing Prince William to struggle with separating from his son.
- In 2020, Julia Samuel recalled, `I do to George what did to us, which is give impossible toys that are really noisy…`
- Graham Laurie revealed, `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,` to ensure safety and protect the line of succession.
- According to The Post, insiders say the family may scrap the travel protocol, Jennie Bond said, "This is going to be a bit of a conundrum for William and will make long-haul flights very tricky."
- In the coming months, Prince George's travel will likely involve more training and possible family debate, as King Charles objects to breaking the historic travel protocol.
