Cobblers.
My grandfather was a private pilot, my Dad was a night fighter/shipping strike pilot and I'm a helicopter pilot. Number one son has the skills but doesn't want to.
Much as skills such as art, writing and science aptitudes run down through generations of a family so the judgmental and manipulative skills for a pilot can be passed on.
The Windsors have shown that they have these skills, as attested by those who know.
