SCANDAL: King Charles’s Final Ultimatum To Prince William EXPOSES His Son’s Shocking Deeds
In the world of the British royal family, change is a constant theme. Recently, an unexpected turn of events has left Catherine, Princess of Wales, and William, the Prince of Wales, grappling with the implications of King Charles III’s actions concerning their eldest son.
As some of the youngest members of the royal family, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis will soon have to adapt to their future roles. For George, who is second in line to the British throne, that means changing the way he travels.
Every year, the island of Mustique becomes the perfect retreat for the Wales family, with white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. This paradisiacal corner in the Caribbean has been, for years, the favorite destination of the family of five.
Aside from surprising fans with their BAFTA snub—William missing the event for the first time in 3 years—the royals also appear to have broken royal protocol with their second family holiday in 2025. According to the latest reports, they caught a British Airways flight from London to St. Lucia before taking a private flight to Mustique. But did they get permission from King Charles?
Since the monarch takes the reins of the monarchy, he is not only navigating his role as the king but also making decisions that will shape the future of his family, particularly concerning his beloved grandson.
When it comes to royal protocol, there are a number of rules that members of the monarchy are expected to follow. Traditionally, two heirs are not permitted to fly on the same plane in order to protect the line of succession. While William and Catherine have historically kept their family of five together, the strict travel ban may come into force for George this year.
In the past, King Charles has had to ask his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, before he traveled with his young son, Prince William—a rule that has likely continued now that Charles is monarch. According to Graham Laurie, who previously worked as a royal pilot for him, travel protocol is expected to change for Prince George in 2025, upon his 12th birthday.
The young royal will likely have to follow the long-held royal tradition, meaning that he could be required to fly in a separate aircraft from his family. William reportedly asked permission from the late Queen for George to accompany him and Catherine on their visit to Australia and New Zealand in 2014. With their eldest son and future king set to turn 12 in July, they could have only months left of family flights.
It is unclear whether the parents will follow this protocol in exactly the same way, and if they would both fly with their younger two children, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, while George travels separately, or if Catherine would join their eldest son as a compromise.
The jet-setting Wales family has been on several other family trips in the past, from holidays to the Isle of Scilly and Jordan to royal tours of Germany and Poland. In 2019, the Wales family reportedly stayed in a £27,000-a-week luxury villa in Mustique, known as Villa Antilles, complete with four bedrooms, a 60-ft infinity pool, a Jacuzzi, private staff, and incredible sea views.
They were joined by Carol and Michael Middleton, with the family celebrating Prince George’s sixth birthday at the holiday destination loved by the late Princess Margaret. Unlike other tourist spots, here they can enjoy the beach and the sun without the constant worry of paparazzi.
Mustique’s history with the Prince and Princess of Wales is not new. This couple has traveled to the island on several occasions, including when their eldest son, Prince George, was just 18 months old. In the past, the family has also opted to summer there during July, extending their stay by several weeks.
For them, these days in Mustique have been an opportunity to share quality time with their children away from official commitments. With warm temperatures and a relaxed atmosphere, it is not difficult to understand why the family has preferred an escape to the Caribbean instead of the red carpet of the BAFTAs.
