<\/p>\n<p>She explained: &#8220;I get the impression that the family won&#8217;t be changing their travel arrangements at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The rule isn&#8217;t widely discussed for a reason <\/p>\n<p>When host Jo Elvin questioned why this rule isn&#8217;t widely discussed, Eden explained it&#8217;s because officials &#8220;don&#8217;t like talking&#8221; about security matters or travel plans.<\/p>\n<p>He went on to explain the potential consequences should disaster strike, though acknowledged it wasn&#8217;t exactly a &#8220;tasteful discussion.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Eden shared his concerns, saying: &#8220;But I have to say, you know, I mean it&#8217;s not a very, sort of, tasteful discussion, but it&#8217;s the future of our Royal Family, and I personally find it very worrying.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Royal editor Robert Eden says the topic is distasteful <\/p>\n<p>The royal editor went on to explain what he&#8217;s worrieda about: &#8220;You know, look, after the Wales family, we have Harry and Meghan.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The fact is that, you know, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themirror.com\/all-about\/prince-harry\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\">Prince Harry<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themirror.com\/all-about\/meghan-markle\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"Follow nofollow noopener\">Meghan<\/a> could be on the throne, and that&#8217;s something which would be a threat, I would say, to the future of the monarchy.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In addition to George, Prince William and Princess Kate are parents to two younger children &#8211;
