It's good to be the king.

In article <bd581d31-017e-475b...@googlegroups.com>,

Duke of Cambridge, second in line to succeed his grandmother,
is a helicopter pilot.
First with the RAF search and rescue force;
now a civilian pilot with the East Anglian Air Ambulance.

You prompted me to look this up:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Succession_to_the_British_throne#Current_line_of_succession

And scroll to the bottom of the list, to number 56,

And think about King Zenouska I.

That would be awesome.

But would he still fly if/when he ascends?

No, each is a full time job.
Still, don't the royals travel by air ...
