Late Queen’s devastating fear over ‘crisis’ prompted her to have words with Prince William

The Queen had several fears towards the end of her life, mostly about her grandson Prince William.

The late monarch was scared for the safety of him and asked him to give up his more daring hobbies. These included flying helicopters and other extreme sports he often engaged in, according to reports.

Outside of her family fears, the Queen was also worried for the country and William as the future king. William is an accomplished pilot; he earned his wings after flight training at Royal Air Force Cranwell in 2008, and previously served as a helicopter pilot for the East Anglia Air Ambulance service, reports the Mirror.

But his grandmother is said to have asked him to stop flying helicopters, or any other aircraft, because she was afraid that if something happened, it would threaten the line of succession. An insider told the Daily Mail in 2022: “It keeps the Queen awake at night, and she is understandably very worried. She knows William is a capable pilot but does not think it is worth the risk for all five of them to carry on flying together and can’t imagine what would happen. It would spark a constitutional crisis.”
