The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have taken a budget airline flight from Norwich to Scotland.

It comes a week after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were criticised in some circles for using private jets.

O

Im sure they could afford waterwings and swim up but then they wouldn't be using my friggin tax money!

And what's the carbon footprint of the red arrows, not to mention all other training flights by the RAF.

He is probably going to be the most popular monarch we have had for years because he has learned from Princess Diana an important rule - don't separate yourself from the public. Can't help liking him and his family.

One brother is labelled hypocrite for taking a PJ, because “he preaches”. Yet Praises heaped on the other preaching brother who decided to ditch his usual PJ/helicopter rides to garner public favor! All that at the very expense of his own brother! How impartial. NOT!

the bull has bolted the royals think they are one of us but they are not

Hope they haven’t left Andrew on babysitting duties

They are a bunch of sucks. He is just embarrassing his brother who didn’t cost taxpayers any money any way when he got a free ride on Elton John’s plane

Yawn....

Have they got a point to prove I wonder. Shame it will be a return ticket.

At least they’ve got a conscience. Not like some.

This is news? Why? Also, couldn’t they have taken the train? We the taxpayers pay them enough for them to afford the expensive train fares

Whos bothered?

Low news day?

In other news millions of other people also boarded planes to fly somewhere else

Train?

By far my favourite royal couple 😝🙃 can’t believe it was 3 years since our lovely family holiday in Aberdeen 🤭🤩💃🏻

Surprised there is even a flight ....take it its one way 😂...Norwich to Aberdeen ...😉

The very best way of making your little brother and his brat of a mrs look as hypocritical as possible well done to the Duke and Duchess, hats off to you guys!

That's because harry and what's her name had the private jet

Queens family members of the worlds day with all lovers come together W and K I love ur ring madam is amazing on your finger tips. My one still no much famously reclusive

Some time I should not be ur cat only because she never tells me love you like my words

Is this because Ryanair were on strike 🤭

This is getting silly. The royals have always used private travel for their own safety and that of fellow passengers as they are such terrorist targets..if a rich friend offered me a private jet and a week in a luxury villa I’d be off..

The view from their seats

Did they travel economy class?

The Amazon rain forest (the Earths Lungs) is on fire.

Only a PR exercise to counter the stuff going on with that lot. We should only support head of state.

Totally ridiculous! 2nd and 3rd in line to the throne, on a budget flight, a terrorists dream come true 🤬

Shane's pony not good enough for them ?

I'd like to hear from all the budget passengers who crammed in beside them..

No need for negativity. Leave them alone. They were born into it and have a reputation to uphold. They are doing their best as a young family, just like millions of others, they just happen to be in the spotlight continuously, whether they like it or not.

Trains too expensive even for the Royals?! Bet yes.

notnews

Oh that's alright then. A bit of virtue signalling and we'll forget about all the other jetting about they do in RAF & private planes.

Looking for brownie points. It's pathetic. Royalty are going down. Their supporters better find a good hiding place. Royalbible. Please share. royalmemes4u

dawngoodwin58 This is why these two are well loved because they don’t show off flying around in a private jet unlike his younger brother who dick head wife thinks she is the top is the right name for her and he is no better everyone loved harry but that’s gone people ar

Maybe they should of got on a bike to reduce their carbon footprint

Please forward this info on to those freeloaders Harry and Megan

Creeps

Why did they not sail 🤷🏻‍♂️

Yes, what is the back story on Andrew or are the BBC not allowed to report on this?

Hopefully one way

Why did they need to fly that distance?

Yaaaawwwwwnnnn!!!

Kate just did Megs up like a kipper with that one 😂😂😂

Good on them, Harry can learn a lot from his brother !!!

Less carbon per person. Well done

Will the fisticuffs between the brothers be televised? Meghan will be selling tickets and jetting her 'friends' in while Kate will keep a dignified silence.

Nice,have fun.

These two taking the piss?

This will course another rift between the boys

How very noble

This is getting silly now. It's almost as if the media are finding any stick they can to batter Harry and Megan. Just let them get on with it

Nice area to hike

This is getting very boring now.

I’m amazed it actually took off. Both my recent flybe flights have been cancelled, perhaps if I was royalty it would be different!

To ridicule Harry and Meghan period.

RevokeA50 please stop this nonsense! Have you nothing better to do!The country in crisis ruled by idiots, Climate Change reality, Trumpism causing deaths/mayhem, plastic killing the oceans, people being murdered on the streets. Social worker Birmingham knifed/death on a visit🤬

Well under the circumstances they had to I wonder for how long

Private aviation creates and supports a lot of jobs. Shaming those who can afford it into not using those services hurts the people employed in that industry.

I really couldn't care.

I’m sure someone will have something negative to say about this

That’s what they should be doing all the time, save taxpayers money.

Goody goodies.

Why does this shit make the news? Seriously what's the point in this and who's actually fucking bothered!!!

Have a great holiday with your gorgeous children❤️

and so they fkn should, but no doubt we will be getting it shoved down our throats what a normal couple they are..... wtf

You omitted the bit where it was only them and their entourage on board!!! So essentially a private flight 🤨

whats wrong with the A1? ;)

Tryn'a make 'Royals' look good to distract from wanky Andrew.

How is this news?

How many times did K&W fly budget before the H&M news. This is no more than a PR stunt. But hey, it's ok!

Big deal...perhaps they could downsize in their Govt provided accomodation.

Whoooohoooooo

Joyceeee77 Hold the front page! Spongeing couple squander less money than another spongeing couple they are related to.

... and!! We fly budget every time.....

chunkymark

Who gives a flying rats ass? Would you rather horse and buggy?

When Royalty take budget flights they stop being Royalty...next step the Trailer park...it’s the beginning of the end..

Could have driven. I could have given them a lift. Could have got a train. Lazy buggers

Biggest PR game ever played in the history

chunkymark Wow! They found a flymaybe flight which took off! Rejoice and behold! It’s a miracle.

Just stop it, please

They know how to do it

I realise you’re all trying to make us hate her cos she’s brown, but it’s not working. We hate them cos they’re royal.

Have they fallen out with Sir Elton John ?

William has taken budget flights before, he and one detective. There doesn't seem to be any security on this flight with Kate and their children, and note they are carrying their own luggage. Good for them, makes H & M look like spoilt brats.

many oil& gas workers fly eastern airways to Aberdeen from humberside & norwich, it’s ridiculously ££ so don’t believe this crap

Ouch.

Wow BBCBreaking you must be short on proper news. Let me help you out, The Amazon Rainforest is burning, and no one is doing anything. Spread the news.

This is a PR stunt by the Cambridge’s to one-up the Sussexes and it’s disgusting. As if they don’t already get enough abuse.

Wow - oh and the Amazon rainforest is ablaze.

A flight is still a flight, whether it is budget or a private plane

Bet they got extra legroom seats without paying!

He’s learning well done Will & Kate’s PR machine 👍 every bit of positive PR they can achieve and without preaching to us to change our lives to save the earth will help him become a respected monarch when the day comes

How are they feeling? Hope they are ok ...

What is it with the young royals and flying! How many BBC journalists do it all the time? I bet they aren't all sandal wearing hippies! Move on ffs!

If it’s true that the brothers arent seeing eye to eye recently, this won’t help one little single bit.

Get a bus 😊

Surely nicer to drive!

Why fly? There are perfectly good train services they could have used at far lower carbon cost. Even if they had insisted on first class tickets.

anybody else on the plane besides servants and staff?

The girls haven't made up yet then, lol.

chunkymark Is this news? looking forward to my next Easyjet flight being reported in national news. Does it count if I get priority boarding?

Sibling rivalry, love it. 😂😂😂

Stop this nonsense

chunkymark They could have easily travelled by train.

And this shows what exactly ? Absolute garbage BBC. Think you need some new intelligent journalists and fast

How many of the hoi polloi were allowed on board at the same time?

Media & public(some of) happy now? Sure you will create misery over something else in no time....

Is this news?

They'll be thumbing a lift back

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂ohh how humble.

Real style

Hope they paid the £10 airport fee like the rest of us have to!

the next in line should fly private the spare shouldn’t

The royals have hit hard times. Will be claiming benefits shortly. I didn’t know the minimum wage applied to her majesty’s grand children.

Oh well done them. Not like they pay for anything themselves anyway.

harry and meghan need to take notice.. a budget flight..

Catch the fuckin bus

Why? Trying to please the moaners, wouldn’t bother. Take a private jet like yer bro, I couldn’t care less.

Where is Aberdeen? Is it in BoS britishOccupiedScotland ?

Going broke!!! No surprise there! Royals do what for a living again? Any actual trades, professionals, and etc? Being Royalty does not mean that you just get 💰 money for nothing. Kings use to earn it by leading nations

👍🏼

Get a sense this is W throwing shade?

They went budget but in first class I’ll bet I guess there is no carbon footprint travelling By air within the UK🙄

Make them walk

They should have walked

BBC doing what the BBC does

Wtf, is this a news? BBC? Seriously?

Can you imagine the security background screening that would have been carried out on all the other passengers on that flight unknown to them,

Can we report on the amazon and pedo Andrew please .. we don’t care about William and Kate and the PR stunt which is a joke , they just flew private to island and William flew private to his climate change conference and they fly in that helicopter all the time 🤷‍♀️

BBC has run out of news headlines. Basically everything is going superb in the country hence the focus on lifestyle. I wonder if you could report to the public on the welfare of the thousands of homeless people sleeping rough on the streets

Why is this news?

nice carbon footprint that's left, then

chunkymark What's wrong with the train?

Showed up little bro and his wife 😩🤦🏽‍♂️

Could of drove...

Budget means a last season private jet! They weren’t flying Ryan air

1:0 to the Cambridge ‘s

Why not?

It’s not the first time they have flown budget .... unfortunately the timing and narrative from the media compares this to recent headlines for Harry and Meghan, and fans the 🔥

In other news water is still wet....

They have been very badly advised. They should have walked!

A slow news day for you eh? In other news I had my tea earlier on.

Paid for by the public

Too little, much too late...

Still not learning!!

Why aren't you on their asses like Meghan and Harry? It would have been more environmentally friendly to take a train... I wonder why you single out one couple and not the other 🤔🤔

BBCWorld and this is news worthy, why?

Did the tax payer fund the flights?

A good slap at Harry

yawn! maybe they missed the point?! greenwashing much

I can hear it now.... we better tone it down while the public is focused on the family. Damn Andrew and his Pedophillia Fetish!

Oh for goodness sake.... 😤Leave them alone go find some other news

It still creates carbon even if it is a budget plane. Really, they just don't get the big picture. Taking a budget flight doesn't make it any better for the planet. If anything it is worse as cheap flights mean more flights meaning more pollution.

chunkymark They'll be on watch dog next week that they was only allowed a carry on at £5

O M G...... Is honestly nothing else happing in the world!?!?

chunkymark With no one else on it due to security reasons.

Good on them.

Who cares

Oh, how to reverse the sibling’s attack.

Still not good enough. They've got to take the Omio bus on their way back. Sure, 11 hours, but only 30 quid !! And Steak Bakes at Greggs at motorway service. What's not to like?

Eltons plane not good enough then 😂😂

And

And they didn't get the train because? At least Harry and Meghan were flying.abroad....

Don't theBbc don't the BBC just love stiring up shit.

chunkymark Credit where credit's due.

Got to say, Kate is the best thing for the royals, and does William proud. Diana would love her to bits. Such a loving family.

These 2 can save our royal family from MEGHAN. Get William in the hot seat asap. Kate is a genuine warm woman.

chunkymark It's still a budget flight at taxpayer expense.

Do budget flights emit fewer GHG emissions? I understand they use the same airplane engines?

This is not news, stop fuelling the Harry/Meagan v Wills/Kate crap and report on important things like the fires in the Amazon

Arnt there more important things for the tax payers channel to report on 😒

No way! Are you joking!! So what.

Media up to no good 🤔

won't save reputation

Hand luggage was it

AND

Be better please 🙏

Yes and so does every else who cannot afford to travel first class.

Didn’t see my Frisbee did they? Lost it up a tree.

Pretty sure there are more newsworthy stories that deserve reporting than this. FFS does my licence fee pay for someone to report this ? 🙄

No trains?

Monarchy is something we need to outgrow.

Fair play but if i had there money I would do everything first class. They are Royals. Won’t begrudge them

They're just like us!

Trains are a thing. Time was royalty used them.

And you wonder why you're losing 750,000 licence payers a year.🙄

Mischief making here. Harry takes budget airlines within the uk too. Bet they didn’t take a budget airline to Mustique

In 2 Awaragardun Kay Paas Koi Kam Kaj Nhien Hay. Looted Maal Par Mazay Urratay Phirtay Haien Zardari Ki Aoulad Ki Tarha.

I love this couple.

Money creates jealousy.

Wow, they're getting down with the riff raff 😂

Tenner says he didn’t use the shitter when onboard 🤷‍♂️

Bet they didn't pay the £10 'development' fee

Lol white people are officially the most racist people on earth. Why so much hate for meghan ? She isnt even fully black too lol

And your point is?

PR...

ANYTHING to get the attention away from uncle Andy

So what ? I did too

They’re the heroes we need 😍

Amazing that's why he's fit to be next king

Why is this news?

So budget is better than first class to Ibiza ? Do as I say ..... get rid

I've just sneezed.

They should have flown first class on BA or private. They’re better than usual riff riff and should be treated so.

Why? Why should they? If it was a real choice I would not fly budget.

They could follow up by giving back some of the cash and estates Queen Vic bought after hoarding taxpayer money while exploiting the world.

HGWarwick

so fucking what

?

PR AT IT WORSE!

No one cares. No normal person cared what Harry and Megan did either. It was just built up by the media

Should have walked.

Not a dig at his brother. Nope.

Could've just hopped on a fucking train instead though, couldn't they...

trolling his brother
