At just 11 years old, Prince George is already beginning to soar—both figuratively and literally.
Following in his family's proud tradition of aviation, the young royal recently experienced his first flying lesson during his summer holidays, an event that captivated onlookers at Berkshire Airfield. The Prince and Princess of Wales were present, watching proudly as their eldest son took to the skies. However, not everyone is reportedly thrilled by this milestone. Meghan Markle, according to sources close to the Sussex camp, is allegedly upset over the news.
The timing, it seems, could not have been worse for the Sussexes, who have struggled to maintain their presence in the public eye. Every milestone achieved by Prince William and Catherine's children seems to push Meghan and Harry further out of the spotlight, leaving Meghan, according to rumors, grasping for relevance. The news of Prince George's flying lesson is said to have left her particularly frustrated, especially as comparisons between the royal cousins become more pronounced. George’s aviation feat is no minor achievement; it marks a significant moment in his young life as a future king. He flew under the guidance of an instructor, while his parents watched on with calm pride. Prince William, a trained helicopter pilot, and the Duchess of Cambridge, known for her steady demeanor, stood by as George soared through the sky for nearly an hour. One observer even remarked, "He loved it. It’s the perfect time to start." George’s great-grandfather, Prince Philip, also trained at the same airfield, further adding to the sense of family tradition.
Yet, while the royal family celebrated this special occasion, the Sussexes, now based in the United States, allegedly felt overshadowed. Rumors are swirling that Meghan, in her usual dramatic fashion, couldn’t help but compare her own children’s experiences to those of George and his siblings, Prince Louis and Princess Charlotte. Online commentators, some satirical in tone, have joked that Archie and Lilibet, Meghan and Harry’s children, are supposedly preparing for even grander achievements, such as space exploration. One commentator quipped, “Archie’s already in space—that’s why we never hear anything real about him!” Meghan, often criticized for being a savvy media manipulator, is reportedly always on the lookout for ways to upstage the Wales family. But with George already reaching new heights—quite literally—it seems the young prince is forging his own path, one that Meghan cannot compete with.
This realization may be what’s reportedly driving Meghan to frustration. According to royal insiders, Meghan’s discontent is twofold: not only is George’s flying lesson generating media attention, but it also highlights how her own children, Archie and Lilibet, are not as visible or celebrated. Critics have pointed out that Meghan and Harry’s decision to keep their children largely out of the public eye has fueled speculation and rumors about their lives. In contrast, the Wales family has struck a careful balance between offering their children privacy while still allowing the public to celebrate key moments in their lives.
As George continues to grow, the pressure on Meghan to keep her family in the limelight reportedly increases. The Sussexes have faced a series of public relations challenges in recent years, with their efforts to remain relevant often falling short. Now, with George on the cusp of adolescence, Meghan is said to be acutely aware that the spotlight will soon shift even more to the younger generation of royals. Reports suggest that Prince Harry is feeling increasingly isolated, and rumors of tension within the Sussex household continue to emerge. Meghan’s alleged frustration over George’s flying lesson may, in fact, be a symptom of a larger issue: the waning influence of the Sussex brand in comparison to the continued success of the Wales family. As one royal commentator remarked, “Meghan’s attempts to overshadow the true royals are becoming more and more desperate.”
