‘Prince Harry king’ searches explode 769% as Wills warned to travel safely

Google searches for “Prince Harry king” have exploded by 769% after the Queen urged Prince William not to fly in helicopters alongside his family.

On Sunday it was revealed that Her Majesty had pleaded with her grandson, the Duke of Cambridge, who is third in line to the throne, to stop flying in helicopters carrying his wife and kids, in case they die and he can’t take the throne.

An unwritten rule stops senior royals flying together, but the royal protocol was relaxed as William’s family were young and split their time between Kensington Palace in London and their home at Anmer Hall in Norfolk.

An insider close to the Queen said: “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.”

If such a tragic event were to take place however, Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, would ascend to the throne.

A new finding by Each Night reveals that searches for “Prince Harry king” exploded to nearly nine times the average volume on Monday.

A spokesperson for Each Night commented on the findings: “While all The Queen’s family will be incredibly precious to her, Prince William and his three children represent a bright future for the monarchy, and she will want to ensure that they stay safe and well, ready to receive the Crown.

“While William is an adept pilot, helicopters are not the safest way to travel, and if the worst were to occur, Prince Harry would then take the throne.

“Despite no longer being a working Royal, the explosion in searches for ‘Prince Harry king’ suggest that his popularity is undiminished, with many people considering an alternate universe with him as King”.
