From Pricey Schools To Private Planes

Posted by Tandra Barner on Sunday, May 5, 2024

We already discussed how the king, queen, and their two daughters visit Mallorca every summer, staying in their stunning palace. And if you did happen to forget, they luckily remind us yearly with the most perfect pictures, making us say #FamilyGoals. In addition to nice family portraits, there are candids of them strolling the streets, exploring food markets with grandma, and checking out the sights. Royals — they're just like us!

Obviously, they are not flying commercial. Nope. They are flying in their two luxury private planes. Naturally, with the controversy of Juan Pablo still hanging over their heads, every move the royals make, especially when it involves spending, is scrutinized. Spanish journalist Jaime Peñafiel seems to bring a voice to the people, telling El Nacional, "The Spanish people have the right to know where they're going and where they are. Let's not forget that daddy and his heir shouldn't travel together in the same plane to guarantee the succession. As such, it's necessary for them to use two planes, two crews, six or eight bodyguards. ... Who pays for that?"

The planes are Airbus A310-300s, and they include all the luxury updates that the royals are sure to have. Okay, so maybe they aren't that much like us.
