US EditionPrince William ‘to Break Royal Tradition’ that Would See Prince George Separated From Him when Turning 12
GREATER LONDON, ENGLAND, JUL 19 – Prince George’s 12th birthday triggers a royal rule requiring him to travel separately from Prince William to protect the succession, while family continues a tradition started by Princess Diana.
- With George’s milestone approaching, the Waleses mark his 12th birthday with Diana’s playful gift tradition, which exasperates William.
- In its origin, Princess Diana began gifting noisy, hard-to-assemble toys to a friend’s children, and godmother Julia Samuel now passes it on to George.
- Reflecting on the ritual, Julia Samuel said `I do to George what did to us, which is give impossible toys that are really noisy and take a lot of making`, and William then has to spend days putting them together.
- According to royal protocol, once a second-in-line heir turns 12, they must travel separately, so after his birthday George cannot fly with William without permission.
- Despite its safety purpose, some insiders suggest the travel separation rule might be scrapped so they can still travel together, according to The Post.
