Next time you're drudging through the airport, ask yourself: WWCDCD? (What would Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge do?)

Actual royalty Kate Middleton was spotted casually boarding a commercial flight in the Netherlands on Tuesday, to the absolute shock of her fellow travelers. Middleton was in the Netherlands on her first official solo trip, which included a day of engagements like meeting King Willem-Alexander and visiting the Mauritshuis Museum.

To cap off her exhaustingly regal day, she hopped on a 7:15 p.m. British Airways flight from Rotterdam to London, sporting the same Catherine Walker suit she had donned earlier in the day.

When Middleton boarded, her flight-mates where "shocked," the New Zealand Herald reports.

She was escorted onto the plane by bodyguards and her team ahead of the 50-minute flight. One source said he had "never seen so many iPhones pop up at once," as passengers scrambled to get a photograph of the Duchess. Keeping a low-profile, Kate spoke with a member of her team for the duration of the quick flight before being the first to be escorted from the plane once it landed "a couple of minutes early". A car was said to be waiting on the tarmac at London City Airport and the Royal was whisked away before passengers were allowed to disembark.

Middleton is no stranger to commercial aircrafts; Her mother, Carole, was an air hostess for British Airways, and her husband, Prince William, has previously flown coach. Royalty, they're just like us!

But the question remain: Is Kate more of a pretzels or peanuts kind of traveler?

Let's block ads! (Why?)
