Detailed explanation-1: -He means that Banquo is a threat because it was said in the prophecy that he would father a line of kings.
Detailed explanation-2: -Macbeth: “Our fears in Banquo / Stick deep, and in his royalty of nature / Reigns that which would be fear’d: ‘tis much he dares… Whose being I do fear; and under him / My genius is rebuk’d, as it is said / Mark Antony’s was by Caesar."
Detailed explanation-3: -Although Banquo will never wear the crown, his descendants will. This means that Macbeth’s children will not inherit the throne. Macbeth fears that Banquo will turn on him in order to establish his own children in the line of inheritance. For this reason, he murders Banquo and attempts to kill his family.
Detailed explanation-4: -O treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly! Thou may’st revenge – O slave! These lines are Banquo’s dying words, as he is slaughtered by the murderers Macbeth has hired in Act 3, scene 3.
