Prince George is reportedly learning to fly aged 11.

The future king — whose father Prince William and uncle Prince Harry are trained pilots — apparently had his first flight at Berkshire airfield, southeast England, on the final day of his summer school holidays.

An onlooker told The Sun, which reported the royal is enjoying flying lessons: "He loved it. George is only 11 years old but it is the right time to start.

"The Royal Family has a proud tradition of flying and it looks like George is next in line.

"His parents watched George take flight from the safety of the ground but he flew with an instructor and loved it."

George's parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, are said to have proudly watched their son soar into the air and come back to land safely around an hour after his lesson took place a week ago.

They turned up at White Waltham Airfield near Maidenhead, in a three-car convoy, according to The Sun.

The base — where George's late great-grandad Prince Philip trained as a pilot — is a 10-mile, 20-minute drive from the Waleses' home in Windsor.
