Prince Harry, Meghan Markle to avail all royal perks despite flying commercial

After the debacle that unleashed following their private jet controversy, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now all set to travel to South Africa via a commercial flight.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who are embarking on their first official tour as a family after Prince Archie's birth, would still receive their ample privileges allowing the two to remain secluded from the rest of the passengers despite travelling via commercial airline.

As per a CNN report, the royal duo would be given ease of access to private lounges, exclusive cabin crew, reserved airport entrances, and luxury cars waiting for them, with chauffeurs right outside the plane.

A former member of the British Airways cabin crew spoke to CNN about the day Prince Harry flew with the airline many years ago. He revealed: "What amazed me was how low-key it was.

"Once we arrived at London Heathrow, we were on stand within five minutes of landing, and he was off the plane before we turned the lights up,” he added.

"He was in first class on a jumbo [747, where there's a door at the front of the first class in the nose of the plane] so the air bridge was placed at the door nearest him and he was whipped off before the rest of the passengers took their seatbelts off,” he said.

Noting the details about the special services, he added: "He'd been brought on board by special services [British Airways' VIP liaison staff] and arrived in a special car from a separate lounge.

"He sat with his minders in first, while others in his team sat in business class."

As for the all-important question, the flight attendant — who asked not to be named — says Harry was "absolutely delightful."
