Of goodness Gilly! There were plenty of people on the flight once it took off with Will and Co on board! Flybe just put them on a different plane for reasons known to themselves.

It was all due to 'Flybe' wanting their logo in any photos. Nothing to do with the the Royal family who booked a commercial flight in good faith.

I’ve read comments from travellers on the same plane stating the royals boarded last and disembarked first - is that a lie?

They are taking us all for bleedin’ idiots !

The “commercial flight” did not exist Minimoo . Several articles in several newspapers confirm this . Could you or I have booked a seat on it ? No !

Might not night. This phone has a mind of its own

I'm assuming you've read the article gilly! It does explain what happened. Flybe got giddy. And you night be surprised to know that empty flights do exist for all sorts of reasons.

The Queen for me with no " followers-on ".

“They” might’ve been unaware Minimoo but whoever booked the non existent, last minute “commercial flight” was certainly not unaware . The flight did not exist but they just happened to find the seats for them on a totally empty plane ? Yeah right .
Pull the other one !

There were other paying customers also on the flight so it was hardly a private one just for them was it?

Well if you bothered to read the article you linked you will see that William and Kate were unaware.

But don't let the truth ruin a good story.

I try not to read things like that, like the cost of holidays, clothes, house refurbishment. I want a royal family, admire the queen but cannot understand her acceptance of Andrews behaviour. Queen, heir to the throne we should fund, but the rest no, they should earn it. We don't know why W and K came to use a private flight there could be a very valid reason.

But how many people will pick up on the not so perfect William and Kate, not many I bet because they are too busy slating Harry and Meghan
There’s little to pick between any of them

It has emerged that Flybe arranged for a private plane for W&K and Co. and they weren’t flying on a commercial flight at all . It was in fact a private flight in a commercial airline.

What are they like, this lot ? That’s the Brownie points down the Swanee then.
