Royals…they aren't just like us, especially when it comes time to fly the friendly skies.

When Kate Middleton and Prince William travel, they have a secret VIP space where they are wined and dined before hopping on their flight. Read on to learn about the "Heathrow Windsor Suite" and see how you can join, and dine like a prince.
