Two Heirs Cannot Travel Together so the Throne Is Always Protected
Air travel poses significant risks, leading to a rule that prohibits two direct heirs from sharing the same flight. This measure ensures that, in the event of a tragedy, the succession remains secure, with the next in line ready to assume their duties. Despite this, Prince William sparked debate by choosing to travel with his son, Prince George, defying the long-standing protocol. Even though Prince George was merely a child, the decision was met with disapproval.
While there have been exceptions permitting Prince George to travel with his father, this practice is expected to cease. As he grows older, Prince George will likely be required to fly separately from Prince William to adhere to traditional protocols.
