Kate Middleton, a royal passenger on a scheduled flight

Kate Middleton took an airliner on Tuesday, October 11, to regain his kingdom after a one-day visit to the Netherlands.

Who said royalties were subscribed to private jet? The Duchess of Cambridge , she took an airliner on Tuesday, October 11, to regain his kingdom after a one-day visit to the Netherlands.

Kate was photographed boarding the scheduled British Airways connecting Rotterdam to London by a Dutch journalist. Daughter of two former employees of the airline - her mother Carole was an air hostess and her father Michael a dispatcher when they met - the Duchess was careful to greet the train staff before winning his place.

By taking a simple commercial flight, Prince William's wife shows that it has learned its lesson about the royal transport budget ... In 2015, Kate was heavily criticized by the British media for having borrowed the helicopter crown to get from Norfolk to London, while at the same time the Queen took the train for the same route ...

First solo trip

The controversy is forgotten and this time the press has hailed the success of this one-day visit to the Netherlands, his first solo official trip abroad. Kate had met King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands at the royal residence in Wassenaar, near The Hague. Elegant, as usual, the wife of Prince William wore a purple suit, topped with a peplum jacket.
