Prince George having to follow strict travel protocol when his 12th birthday comes around is “really sad”, Angela Levin has told GB News.
The future King turns 11 today, meaning he has just a year left to enjoy being able to fly on the same plane as his father, Prince William.
Traditionally, two heirs are not permitted to fly on the same plane in order to protect the line of succession.
Levin told Eamonn Holmes and Ellie Costello that given George’s close relationship with his father, this is a sad reality to bear.

“When he gets to 12, he can’t fly in the same plane as his father”, he said.
“You can’t have two heirs to the throne in the same plane, and I think that is very sad.

“He has got to enjoy it very much, while he still can.”
The young royal is having two parties to celebrate his birthday, Levin added on GB News.
“He is having two parties, one in London with family and friends”, she said.
“And then a big one later with all of his school friends.”

The oldest of the Wales children has been “very shy” in his early life, according to Angela Levin, but she feels the future monarch has shown signs that he is coming out of his shell.
She said: “What is interesting about him is, he has been very shy. Charlotte has sort of overwhelmed him because she is amazing for her age.
“I think he is coming out of that shell and he is much more at ease with himself. He loves anything to do with sport.
“William loves him and I think they are a great comfort to each other in these difficult times.”
