Queen Elizabeth Wasn’t ‘Enthusiastic’ Over Prince Charles’ Dangerous Stunt For This Reason

Prince Charles was known for engaging in dangerous stunts while growing up, but Queen Elizabeth II was never a fan of them.

According to royal biographer Anthony Holden, Prince Charles reportedly had a natural talent for flying. He was dubbed as the “action man” following a series of military drills in which he reportedly threw himself out of planes, escaped from submarines, drove a tank, learned to fly a jet and more.

In the book “Charles: Prince of Wales,” it was revealed that Prince Charles wanted to make a parachute jump, and this didn’t make Her Majesty happy.

“The Queen was not enthusiastic, but she knew she could not talk him out of it. Hearts in Whitehall skipped a few beats as the Prince of Wales found another way of testing and proving himself,” Holden claimed.

Queen Elizabeth reportedly had the right to be nervous on the day that her eldest son tried to make a parachute jump. Prince Charles soon found out that the slipstream was stronger than he had expected. The heir to the throne finally gave up flying after crashing the BAe 146 in the Hebrides in 1994.

In related news, Prince Charles also made headlines this week after it was reported that Prince William once told his dad that he hates him. In the book “William and Harry,” author Katie Nicholl said that Prince William reportedly reached a point wherein he could no longer take his parents’ bickering.

As a young boy, he reportedly told Prince Charles that he hated him so much for making Princess Diana cry all the time. At one point, he also slammed the door in a rage while shouting as his dad. Prince William had been aware that his parents’ marriage was on the rocks even when he was just a kid.

“The princess had become increasingly dependent on her eldest son, who she frequently confided in, and it was William who would pass his mother tissues through the bedroom door as she sobbed on the other side. It was a heavy burden for a young boy,” Nicholl said.
