Here's yet another reason why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are just like us
And we love them for it…


And we love them for it…
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were undoubtedly the most talked-about couple of 2017, and with their royal wedding date set for 19th May this year, they are sure to be even more talked about in 2018.
From Meghan Markle’s wedding dress designer to Prince Harry’s best man, fans and supporters are dying to find out any snippets of news regarding the upcoming nuptials.
You would think therefore that the royal couple would be unable to go out in public without getting recognised - and bombarded with wedding questions.
However you would be wrong, with the royal couple using the Christmas holidays to prove that they are just like us.
British Airways passengers received a surprise when they saw Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sitting on their flight, with the royal couple travelling in economy to Nice for New Year.
’They sat at the back,’ a source told People. ‘It was the morning flight from Heathrow. I guess they did it so that they could get on and off separately.’
