Prince William's actions give sleepless nights to Queen Elizabeth II. Find out the truth

British monarch Queen Elizabeth II was concerned about Prince William's habit of flying helicopters with his family as she seemed to think that it could threaten the line of succession, according to reports.

The 'terrified Queen had raised her concerns over this habit of Prince William and said that any disaster can occur, especially during bad weather.

The Sun had reported that the Queen could not sleep at night due to this fear.


Reportedly, the British monarch has had "several conversations" with Prince William in this regard and has urged him not to fly helicopters himself.
The 96-year-old monarch has told the next heir to the throne that she believes in his capabilities but fears any untoward event can happen during bad weather conditions.

William is considered a "competent pilot" because he served as a search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force.

Prince William quite often flies the helicopter himself while traveling with his family, including wife Kate Middleton and three kids - Prince George (9), Princess Charlotte (7) and Prince Louis (4).

According to a report by the Daily Mail, unofficial rules and regulations have previously barred senior royal family members from flying together as a precaution. But the stringent rules have been eased after the birth of the children of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

The easing of rules has given Prince William and his wife more time to spend with their children.

While speaking on the matter, an official from the Palace stated that there are no official rules regarding this, and royals have also travelled together in the past. However, the final decision rests with the Queen, added the official.



Notably, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, is second in line to the throne. He will be replacing his father, Prince Charles. William's eldest son Prince George, who is currently nine years old, is third in line to the throne.
