We have two fun little updates tonight. The first is the promised picture of Kate skiing in the French Alps. I was hoping for some kind of confirmation that the family was indeed out on the slopes, and a few of you very generously provided that confirmation (requesting anonymity).
I’m glad they saw the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla. I wonder if any groveling took place? I don’t think I could look the Queen in the face about all the terrible things they said and did.
I wonder if they actually bumped people or if the airline made the choice/extended the “courtesy” to keep their high profile passengers happy & “safe” (w/o them asking). I have NO idea if that’s a thing, and I can also see H&M asking them to do it…. Just curious how it all played out. I doubt we’ll ever know. BUT, if they did in fact ask the airline to bump others, it suggests to me that it was a last minute decision which leads me to worry about the Queen’s health.
We flew on Wednesday on flights from Tucson to Atlanta and then to Fort Lauderdale. Every flight was overbooked and they asked people to volunteer to give up their seats (if they had seat numbers) on our early morning Tucson-Atlanta flight. But to BUMP people who had assigned seats would be terrible. Especially if those people had meetings to attend and so on. The rich are different and it is never more so.
I think it is obnoxious that they bumped people from first class. If they had bought it out BEFORE any tix were sold then that’s another story.

Lovely picture of the Cams!!! Shame on the airline for allowing them to do that and actually bump others who paid for those seats!
