The trio have travelled TOGETHER with Prince William and Princess Kate on a holiday to the Caribbean, according to new claims.
Kate Middleton and Prince William have refused to separate Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis – thus breaking Royal Family protocol. The trio have travelled TOGETHER with Prince William and Princess Kate on a holiday to the Caribbean, according to new claims.
The family are believed to have flown together as a group of five, despite royal protocol limiting which royals can travel together in the same plane. Carole Middleton has joined the brood on the trip abroad to secluded island Mustique, it has been reported.
Carole, who recently celebrated her 70th birthday, had already been staying in the Caribbean for several days before the Wales family arrived, according to reports. Speaking on HELLO Magazine’s ‘A Right Royal Podcast’, King Charles’ former pilot, Graham Laurie, opened up about the rule and how it affected a young William when he turned 12 in 1994.

He told the hosts: “Interestingly, we flew all four: the Prince, the Princess, Prince William and Prince Harry, up until Prince William was 12 years old. After that, he had to have a separate aircraft and we could only fly all four together when they were young with the written permission of Her Majesty.
“When William became 12, he would fly normally in a 125 from Northolt and we would fly the 146 out with the other three on.” In 2016, the Telegraph newspaper’s Gordon Rayner reported that the late Queen would also travel alongside a Royal Navy doctor, who would research information about local hospitals, whenever she went on a world tour.
“In countries where a reliable blood supply is questionable, the Queen and the Prince of Wales both travel with their own personal packs of blood following in their convoy wherever they go,” he added.
“Their doctor is never more than a few paces away, carrying a bulky medical bag containing a mobile defibrillator and all manner of emergency medicine.”
