Prince George prepares for ‘harsh’ royal rule as he turns 11

Prince George will be gearing up for an unbending royal rule in a year’s time as he turned 11 on Monday.

The young prince, who is the second in line to the throne, will not be able to travel with his father Prince William, from next year, explained royal author, Christopher Andersen.

“This may be the last year George will be allowed to fly with his father,” Andersen told Fox News Digital. “Starting at age 12, heirs to the throne are required to take air trips separately to preserve the line of succession should an accident occur.”

Andersen added that when William turned 12, he began flying in a separate royal jet apart from his father, King Charles, and brother Prince Harry.

“It’s a morbid rule, but then again, when they turn 16, all senior royals are also asked to help plan their own funerals,” Anderson said.

The eldest son of Prince William and Kate Middleton is likely set to spend his big day at Windsor where he will be thrown two birthday parties, which will be kept “low-key,” Andersen stated.

The Prince and Princess of Wales also wished their son ‘happy birthday’ with a black and white photo of George, dressed smartly, and smiling widely at the camera.

Kate herself took the photo which was shared onto the official account of the Waleses.
