Prince George will face a huge change in royal tradition when he celebrates his 12th birthday in less than a month, on July 22.
The heir to the British throne will no longer be able to fly on the same aircraft as his father, Prince William.
This strict rule is designed to protect the royal family’s future line of succession, in the event of a tragedy occurring.
The royal protocol may also affect Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, who may no longer fly with their older brother due to their positions in the line of succession.
George is currently second-in-line to the British throne, behind Prince William. Charlotte, 10, and Louis, seven, are next in the line of succession.

Since they were born, George, Charlotte and Louis had to abide by some strict rules.
No Monopoly
According to The Telegraph, Prince Andrew couldn’t play iconic board game Monopoly.
“We’re not allowed to play Monopoly at home. It gets too vicious,” the Duke York said back in 2008.
Playing Outside
The Independent reports Kate and William encourage their children to play outside, apparently in either rain or shine.
“There will be lots and lots of outdoor play. … Lots of bike rides, playing with their dogs, potentially some gardening…,” Louise Heren, the author of Nanny in a Book, said.
“Yes, you are getting mucky with your hands in the soil, but you are learning how to plant.
“If it is tipping it down, they will still go out.”

No baby food or Shellfish
Perhaps unsurprisingly, a strict set of dietary guidelines applies to the children. These rules ban pre-packaged and baby foods as they have private chefs.
The kids follow the same dietary restriction as adults: no shellfish.
It’s due to shellfish being the easiest food to get sick from and which they aim to avoid whenever possible.
No Electronic Toys
Prince William and Princess Kate apparently don’t allow their kids to play with any electronic toys.
The couple prefer their children to participate in activities and avoid them having tablets, iPads.

Their own table at Christmas lunch
The royal children spend Christmas with the rest of their family at Sandringham. But, they have their own room for lunch.
Can’t open presents on Christmas Day
The royal children do not participate in opening presents on Christmas Day, as they exchange all gifts on Christmas Eve and go to church on Christmas.
This tradition, introduced by Prince Albert, also involves the children adding the “finishing touches to the 20ft Christmas tree in the White Drawing Room” on Christmas Eve.
“On Christmas Eve, The Royal Family lay out their presents on trestle tables and will exchange their gifts at teatime,” the Royal Family website stated.
