Last month Prince William described flying as his "happy place" and revealed he still keeps his hours going. He's flown the Princess of Wales and their children before, though according to royal author Robert Jobson, this has supposedly sparked concern in the past from both his late grandmother and his father.
Writing in his latest royal book, The Windsor Legacy, Robert suggested that "tensions rose" in early 2024 when the Prince of Wales allegedly flew his "entire family in his helicopter". Describing this as a "habit that had already alarmed" Queen Elizabeth, the author claimed she'd "once warned him firmly to consider the line of succession".
