Lesson for Meghan and Prince Harry? Kate Middleton and Prince William Take Budget Flight to Scotland
 Kate Middleton and Prince William can be seen with their children as they step off the economy FlyBe plane. It comes amid a row over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s use of private jets.
Good move, Kate
Prince William, his wife Kate and their children have been spotted getting off a £73 budget flight to Scotland, amid a row over Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s private jet trips.
The Duke of Cambridge and Duchess of Cambridge took the 8.45am flight from Norwich International Airport to Aberdeen Airport with their children this morning.

The royal couple and their family can be spotted being escorted from the budget FlyBe plane and getting into waiting vehicles, where they are expected to be whisked away to visit the Queen and Prince Philip at Balmoral.
A passenger on the plane who spotted them said: ‘The family were sat right at the front. I fly this route all the time and we were none the wiser. No-one knew they were on the flight. ‘Later on I realised that Kate’s mother was sat a few rows in front of me.’
Kate Middleton is said to have turned down a free first class upgrade worth $8,500 back when she was dating Prince William.
A British Airways source told the publication it was the first time a passenger had declined the offer.

“She may be dating the future king but she’s so down to earth,” said the source. “It’s the first time we have had a passenger turn down the chance of an upgrade.”
The Cambridges appearance on the cheap flight will inevitably lead to comparisons with William’s brother Prince Harry and his wife Meghan.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have come in for criticism from some quarters after they took four private jet flights in 11 days this summer.
They flew from London to Ibiza and back before making a return trip to Nice earlier this month, fuelling claims they were contributing to climate change.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been accused of hypocrisy due to their outspoken support of environmentalism. In a recent interview with British Vogue, for instance, Harry urged readers to leave “something better behind for the next generation.”
Harry and Meghan traveled by private jet again to Ibiza, for a vacation in a resort nicknamed the “billionaire’s playground,” before flying to Elton John’s mansion in Nice. John later confirmed that he paid for the couple’s private jet to his home in the South of France, and he made sure the aircraft was carbon neutral.

“I am deeply distressed by today’s distorted and malicious account in the press surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s private stay at my home in Nice last week,” John wrote in an Instagram post.
“Prince Harry’s mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. I feel a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s untimely death.”
