The king's move highlights concerns over the young prince's future as he approaches a major milestone in his journey to becoming king. The conflict between Charles and William arose over William's use of a private helicopter to travel, which the king saw as a safety hazard and sending the wrong message to the public.

King Charles stressed the importance of adhering to royal traditions and protocol, especially as Prince George enters a crucial period at the age of 12, when he will undergo intensive training to prepare for his future role. The king stressed that William and his wife must adjust their parenting to the expectations of the royal family.

Including more controlled and discreet travel arrangements to reflect the seriousness of George’s position. The training Prince George will receive will cover a range of subjects including history, rhetoric, international relations and royal duties, with a focus on discipline, responsibility and understanding the historical significance of the monarchy.

While the Prince and Princess of Wales are seen as modernising influences, King Charles’ warning signals the need to adjust their approach as Prince George approaches a crucial stage in his development.

The helicopter safety row highlights the challenges the royal family faces in balancing tradition with modern expectations. Despite the differences, there is hope that Princess Katherine’s influence can help reconcile these issues and maintain stability and unity within the royal family.
