Heir Apparent Disregards Warnings from King and Late Queen
5 Nov
Summary
- Prince William continues to fly his family in a helicopter despite concerns from King Charles and the late Queen Elizabeth
- William's helicopter use could put the line of succession at risk if there was an accident
- The royal family has repeatedly asked William to limit his helicopter flights with his family
According to a recent report, Prince William's use of a helicopter to transport his family has been a source of ongoing concern within the royal family. The article states that if there had been a fatal accident involving William and his family, his brother Prince Harry would have immediately become the heir to the throne.
King Charles, who took the throne in February 2024 after a cancer diagnosis, has reportedly "revisited the issue" and had one of his senior aides "obtain William's written acknowledgement of the risks" associated with the helicopter flights. However, the Prince of Wales "refused" to curb his helicopter use.
The article also reveals that the late Queen Elizabeth had previously "cautioned William, particularly about flying with his heir Prince George," expressing her fear of a potential accident disrupting the line of succession. The queen's concerns stemmed from a 1967 crash that killed her flight captain.

Despite these repeated warnings from both the current monarch and the late queen, William has continued to defy their wishes and fly his family in the helicopter. The issue has even extended to his children, with reports that William and his eldest son, Prince George, will no longer be able to travel together on the same aircraft.
The article paints a picture of a royal heir who is unwilling to heed the concerns of his elders, putting the stability of the monarchy at risk. As the future king, William's actions could have significant implications for the royal family and the British public.
