Prince William ‘irritated’ the late Queen by reportedly ignoring one key piece of advice
Prince William reportedly left his grandmother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, “quite peeved” after disregarding her concerns about the safety of the Royal Family flying together in a helicopter, a royal author has claimed.
Speaking on the latest episode of GB News’s The Royal Record podcast, Robert Jobson revealed that both the late Queen and King Charles III had expressed their worries about William’s frequent helicopter flights with his wife, Princess Kate, and their children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis.
Despite these concerns, William continued the practice.
Mr Jobson explained that William, who is a skilled pilot, would regularly fly the family from Kensington Palace to their country residence, Anmer Hall. Despite Queen Elizabeth raising the issue with him, William persisted, which reportedly “irritated” her.
He said: “The Queen did raise with him, well I have it on authority that she did, and he still did it – he still flew out.
And I think that quite peeved her, irritated her a little bit as she had raised it. And now, since the King’s diagnosis, I think he raised a similar point with William via one of his aides.
“Basically the issue was raised because the King is saying if something happens, and he’s not in any way doubting William’s ability as a helicopter pilot is he’s a trained pilot himself, but he realised that there are dangers involved in everything.
“And by having them all flown together in a helicopter, I think was seen as not really acceptable.”
In light of the potential risks, King Charles reportedly requested that William sign a formal document acknowledging the dangers involved in flying his entire family together and taking full responsibility for his actions.
