I'm John Bachelors with Gregory Kupley, my editor and publisher of Defense and Foreign Affairs as well as my colleague.

And this story is lovely because it involves Defense in Foreign Affairs, as well as my colleague.

And this story is lovely because it involves

not only King Charles blessing his son,

but I'm Prince William taking his son, Prince George, to flying lessons.

The story reads this way.

Prince George has continued a royal tradition of taking the disguise

by starting flying lessons.

The 11-year-old flew in a single engine Piper PA 28 with dual

controls and aircraft designed for flight training. The Prince and Princess of

Wales watched their son take off from White Walton Head, Burks, and land around an hour later.

Gregory, the only time I remember thinking about the King Flying was the not not Elizabeth's father George's six his brother

had his own airplane and I believe he flew all over at the United Kingdom

but the idea of both Prince William and Prince George

flying, that's magical.

They're doing a very good job of re-establishing

the authority of the kingship. Is that how to read this?

Well, there's no question about that. And I think the engagement of the royal family at all levels,

particularly with the males, but also now with some of the women

with the armed forces is significant and we will see Prince George I think going into the armed forces for a period as did King Charles

himself and King Charles also was an aviator and served with the Navy as well.

So, as did William.
