PRINCE George is learning to fly aged just 11. The future king ­enjoyed his first flight last week on the final day of his school hols. An onlooker at the Berkshire airfield said: “He loved it. It’s the right time to start.” The Prince and Princess of Wales watched their son soar into the air and come back to land safely just under an hour later. The treat came on the final day of George’s school summer holiday last week. An onlooker said: “George is only 11 years old but it is the right time to start. “The Royal Family has a proud tradition of flying and it looks like George is next in line. “His parents watched George take flight from the safety of the ground but he flew with an instructor and loved it.” William and Kate, both 42, had turned up in a three-car convoy at White Waltham Airfield near Maidenhead, Berks, a ten-mile, 20-minute drive from their Windsor home. George’s great-grandad Prince Philip trained at the same airfield. Read
