Heartbreaking reason Royal Family always have to travel with one item | Royal | News

When it comes to traveling abroad, numerous rules are in place to protect King Charles and other members of the Royal Family. Whether it’s bringing your own alcoholic beverages for fear of poisoning, not allowing two or more heiresses to fly on the same plane, or traveling with spare blood bags in case of emergency, all restrictions are there for a reason.

A previous experience with Queen Elizabeth II. There’s another important royal tradition that was put into place after Elizabeth left her unprepared for her monumental return to the United Kingdom.

To avoid a similar situation, this rule will now affect every member of the Royal Family when they travel abroad.

Princess Elizabeth was not in the United Kingdom when she became Queen on 6 February 1952. He was at the start of a Commonwealth tour in Kenya when his father died suddenly of lung cancer at Sandringham House in Norfolk, aged 56.

Because King George VI’s death was unexpected, the Queen did not pack a black dress for her official tour in case she needed to return quickly.

As a result, when her plane landed at London Airport the next day, 7 February, she was brought a suitable dress to put on before getting off the plane. Since then, it has become a tradition for the royal family to travel in black dress or appropriate mourning attire when someone dies while abroad.

It appears that both King Charles and Prince William have followed in the late Queen’s footsteps. It is also vital that no two heirs to the throne travel on the same plane.

While it was claimed that environmentally conscious Prince William’s 12-year-old son, Prince George, often did not comply with this rule, King Charles preferred this and often traveled separately from his eldest son.

Although plane crashes are fortunately rare these days, three members of the Royal Family have died in three separate air crashes over the years.

The first horrific accident occurred in 1937, when Prince Philip’s sister Princess Cecile died in an accident while she was eight months pregnant. She had given birth mid-flight, and a newborn baby was found among the debris. Cecile died instantly, along with six other passengers and aircrew.

The next plane crash was World War II, when the late Queen’s uncle, Prince George, Duke of Kent, died in 1942. It occurred during World War II. He was only 39 at the time, and when the plane crashed over Caithness in Scotland, all but one of the people on board were killed.
