Prince William and Princess Kate are rethinking an old royal tradition that may impact their eldest son, Prince George’s, upcoming travels, The Post has learned.

The couple is reportedly discussing the potential of ending a long-standing royal protocol that prevents senior royals from flying together once the eldest child turns 12—a rule put in place decades ago to protect the royal line of succession in case of an accident.

Outdated Rule May Be Scrapped as George Turns 12

Sources told The Post that the Prince and Princess of Wales are consulting advisors and palace staff about possibly ending the three-decade-old rule as George prepares to celebrate his 12th birthday on July 22.

“Interestingly, we flew [Charles], Princess [Diana], Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old,” royal expert Laurie shared on A Right Royal Podcast. “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,” referring to the late Queen Elizabeth II.

While no final decision has been made yet, the couple does have the option of requesting a special waiver from King Charles that would allow the family to continue traveling together beyond George’s birthday.

The Post has reached out to Kensington Palace for comment.
