In accordance with his duty in the Royal Air Force, William still often uses helicopters to travel. He also likes to take his wife, Kate Middleton and their three children. However, the late Queen Elizabeth II had asked William to stop flying by helicopter with his wife and child.
The queen was not only worried about the safety of the family, but she was worried about the future succession if an accident happened to them. Unwritten rules had time to stop senior royal members from flying together. However, the protocol loosened as the William family grew and split their time between London and Norfolk.
