A long-standing royal rule could see Prince George and his younger sister Princess Charlotte separated from one another next year when the heir turns 12.

The restriction also means that George will no longer be able to travel with his father, Prince William either, which was something the now Prince of Wales also had to endure when he turned 12 too.

The practical rule is put in place to protect the monarchy and the line of succession in cases of rare accidents, the Mirror reports.

Prince William is next in line to the throne, should anything happen to his own father King Charles, followed by Prince George and then Princess Charlotte.

In the event of a life threatening crash on an aircraft or another form of transport, having all three heirs travel together could threaten the immediate line of succession which is why they are forbidden from travelling together as a trio.
