Kate Middleton spotted flying in economy class - with Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis

The Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton took an economy flight to Balmoral, media reports have confirmed. The 40-year-old royal was accompanied by her children, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, while her husband, Prince William, traveled separately with their elder son, Prince George.

The down-to-earth duchess was seen traveling in economy class in a TikTok video doing rounds on the internet. TikTok said in the video that Kate, her two children, their nanny, and their security personnel were traveling on the same flight to Scotland.

Some netizens have hailed the move as a symbol of simplicity, as she chose economy class over a private jet or helicopter.


The young royals appeared cute as always. While adorned with the little princess a floral dress, the younger prince wore navy shorts and a blue shirt. The family was on their annual vacation to Balmoral, where the Queen spent her summertime in the Scottish Highlands. Following the vacation, the Cambridge royals are expected to move to Windsor.



Prince William and his family will be relocating to the Adelaide Cottage from Kensington Palace, reportedly closer to the 96-year-old monarch.
The media portray the move to Adelaide Cottage as a mark of humility on the part of the five-member royal family.

Per reports, the Adelaide Cottage is a humble four-bedroom villa in Windsor with no live-in staff or extra security detail. The move will also help the Cambridges to send the three children to school together locally.

Meanwhile, Prince William’s younger brother, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan, continue to bring controversies to the royal family.

Due to the growing rift between Prince Harry and the other royals, there have been reports that he and his wife won’t be on the guest list of the Cambridges after their move to the new Windsor home.

Prince Harry is Duke of Sussex, and his relationship with the Duke of Cambridge has been troubled over the years.
