After Prince William said Prince George would like to become a pilot, Prince Harry has been reminded ‘of everything he is missing’, claims royal author and expert Tom Quinn
Prince Harry has received a “sad reminder” from his brother, Prince William, that he has “no relationship at all” with his nephew, Prince George, a royal author has claimed.
The Prince of Wales revealed that his son, who is second in line to the throne, is a “potential pilot in the making” and could follow in his father’s footsteps, as William worked as an air ambulance pilot in East Anglia when he was younger. George’s passion could also have similarities to that of his uncle, Harry, who served as an Apache helicopter pilot during one of his tours of Afghanistan.
But according to royal author and expert Tom Quinn, William’s hints at his son’s future career path will remind Harry “of everything he is missing” while his relationship with the Royal Family remains strained. The expert told The Mirror: “William’s hints that his son George might follow in his footsteps and become a pilot will certainly remind Harry of everything he is missing – after all Harry was himself a helicopter pilot and would love to entertain his nephew with tales of his own time in the air.

“It’s a sad reminder that he has no relationship at all with George.” William revealed his son’s passion for planes during a chat with Reverend Squadron Leader Chrissie Lacey at a garden party at Buckingham Palace last week.
William also revealed his 10-year-old son would love to visit the RAF Coningsby base in Norfolk, as he is a “potential pilot in the making”. Back in 2017, when George was just a toddler, he visited Germany and Poland with his parents, and at the end of the trip, the young prince was spotted getting seriously excited over helicopters at Hamburg Airport.
“George was excited, with the first helicopter he wanted to sit in the cockpit, and then he wanted to sit in the next one, he already knew there was a difference between them,” Antoine van Gent, who was present, revealed to the Telegraph. William even showed George the basics of how one would be flown and the young royal was reportedly allowed to try a helmet on.

Last weekend, George attended the FA Cup final with his father William. He joined the Prince of Wales at the highly-anticipated match between Manchester City and Manchester United. The pair were seen in the crowd at Wembley Stadium this afternoon.
George looked elegant in a blue suit as he sat next to his dad in the stands. The son and father duo are both are passionate Aston Villa fans and William, 42, regularly attends the FA Cup final. He also joined his father at a football game on April 12, as they watched Aston Villa play Lille in the first leg of the Europa Conference League quarter-final. George wore a Villa-branded scarf as the pair applauded and smiled as their team secured a 2-1 victory.

It marked their first public appearance since the Princess of Wales revealed her cancer diagnosis in March and royal fans will welcome the sight of father and son watching a pinnacle event in the football calendar. George is known to be a keen football fan and in 2020 he beamed with joy following Luke Shaw’s opener in the Euro final, as he attended the match with his parents.
The then seven-year-old cheered and laughed with her parents as soon as the goal was scored. But sadly his happiness didn’t last the length of the match as England lost the match 3-2 to penalties after Italy equalised midway through the second half.
