‘Queen doesn’t want Prince William to fly with family by helicopter’ | royals

entertainment">Elizabeth is said to be so concerned that she not only wants the five of the family not to be on the same plane anymore, she even wants her grandson to stop flying a helicopter. William is a pilot and has served with the British Air Force RAF. Bad weather and accidents could strike at any moment, she is said to have told William.

entertainment">Recently, there were problems during flights with the British royal family’s helicopter. In September, the Queen’s helicopter suffered a malfunction and that same month a scheduled flight had to be canceled due to bad weather.

entertainment">As a rule, royals never fly together, not even in an ordinary plane. But that protocol would have been smoother when William and his family began dividing their time between London and Norfolk. William and Catherine are also said to have asked for permission to fly together for their tour of Australia in 2014.
