Or only booked after prince Harry's controversial Private jet trip?

The Cambridge have used commercial flights quite a few times.

I think the problem with Harry and meghan is that just before using a private jet, they'd made a big song and dance about only having two children to help save the environment and trying to be eco friendly.

It's the hypocrisy that's annoyed people rather than the actual mode of transport.

Not last minute, there us an awful lit if security to be vetted before hand so to change everything at the last minute would be almost an emergency situation.
Just the same as most parents the
Cambridges are concerned mainly for the safety of their children before themselves.

“they'd made a big song and dance about only having two children to help save the environment“

They hadn’t, you know! It was one throw away jokey line.

Just tried to find an easy c&p and failed. He said something about having children. Jane Goodall laughed and said “ Not too many!” He laughed and said “Two, maximum!” And that was it. Not much of a “song and dance”!

They've made several stamens and when out and about on how they're keen to save the environment and so.

Apparently, two empty jets were sent to pick them up, no idea why the needed two, but still, it makes them look like us common folk flying on a normal airline.

But we’re good with wills being a hypocrite, acting the same as his dad and lecturing people about over population.

Norwich is the smallest safest airport ever though, it would be really easy to sweep it for security. Booking plans at last minute is good for security too

Aircraft position in to airports all the time though. It's not an unusual scenario. The press have made out they sent a Flybe 'branded' aircraft, they actually sent an Embraer 145 of which Flybe have precisely none. It was sent from the 'Flybe' base at Humberside, which is actually Eastern Airlines base. The press took half a situation and turned it into a nonsense story there, with several impossibles, due to detail.

That's who he is. That’s who they are," he added, referring to Meghan. "No plastic

MM had an entirely different nose until she became famous, I don't think she's against all plastic.
And I wonder what damage that chemical straightening treatments and related products cause, in order to get naturally afro-textured hair to remain permanently poker straight either.

I just wish the pair of them would cut the crap, tbh.
