Prince Edward's first aviation tutorial ends successfully
At the ripe age of eleven, it's alleged that Prince George experienced his debut flight lesson, as reported by a news source. The offspring of Prince William, the future king of Britain, and his queen consort, Kate, reportedly spent approximately an hour up in the sky, as stated by "The Sun," relying on eyewitness accounts. As the second in line to the British throne, George is being readied to eventually ascend to the throne.
According to a source, George seemed to quite enjoy soaring through the skies. "It's the perfect moment to commence," the unnamed individual added. George's parents watched the flight from the ground, marking the end of the summer holidays, but the young prince had company within the cockpit in the form of a flight instructor.
Notably, the British royal family has maintained silence on the leisure activities of William and Kate's children.
The family's aviation history continues
As quoted by a witness, "It appears that the royal family maintains a rich aviation heritage, with George being the next in line." This remark was made at Waltham Airfield, only a short 20-minute journey from Windsor Castle, where the family resides.
The historical significance of aviation within the royal family extends to George's great-grandfather, who learned to fly at Waltham at the age of 31. His grandfather, present king Charles III, spent four months in the Royal Air Force. Prince William, George's father, started his aviation training at 27 while serving in the military before becoming a helicopter rescue pilot. Moreover, George's uncle, Prince Harry, also learned to fly during his military service, ultimately serving as a co-pilot in Afghanistan.
George's aviation debut was highly anticipated, following in the footsteps of his aviator family members. Just like his great-grandfather and father, Prince George showed an interest in flying, continuing the royal family's aviation legacy at Waltham Airfield.
