Prince William, who is in America with Prince Harry to celebrate his friend Guy Pelly's marriage, took the American Air flight from Memphis to Dallas on Sunday. The cost of the trip itself is being met privately by both the princes - Prince William is understood to have changed planes at Dallas Fort Worth to return to the UK.

The photo was taken by US television reporter Eli Ross who was on the flight - he posted the image on Twitter writing: 'I am still amazed #Prince William flies COACH. That's pretty humble/awesome. Who knew?'

On the American Airlines plane he took a window seat and is understood to have ordered water during the 1hour 30 domestic flight. A similar flight was on sale today for ￡250. Holding his hand luggage he boarded a plane separately to the rest of the passengers in Memphis, surrounded by security officers. The 31-year-old was then photographed at the Dallas airport wearing jeans, a pale blue shirt, white trainers and a baseball cap as he left the American Airlines Admiral Club.

The princes are accompanied round-the-clock by a team of around four taxpayer-funded officers from Scotland Yard’s Royalty Protection Squad. One senior industry source estimated the cost of guarding the princes during their five-day trip would be in the region of $84,000, including business class flights and hotels for all of the officers.

It is not the first time that the royals have tried to save money when attending a wedding. In 2011 passengers were surprised to see Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge settle into seats with the rest of the public after boarding a Flybe jet in Edinburgh for their hour long journey to Manchester following the wedding of Zara Phillips and Mike Tindall in Edinburgh. Meanwhile, a hungover Prince Harry chose EasyJet to make his way home to London.

During the recession the Queen urged her family to show restraint and to avoid overt displays of extravagance. When they are on official duties the princes travel in first or business class along with their entourage.

據(jù)英國(guó)《每日郵報(bào)》5月6日?qǐng)?bào)道，上周末威廉王子與哈里王子赴美參加好友婚禮，婚禮結(jié)束后搭乘美國(guó)航空公司飛機(jī)經(jīng)濟(jì)艙從孟菲斯前往達(dá)拉斯轉(zhuǎn)機(jī)回國(guó)，費(fèi)用由王子自掏腰包。

美國(guó)某電視臺(tái)記者伊萊·羅斯恰好與威廉同機(jī)，他拍下照片并發(fā)推特稱：“萬(wàn)萬(wàn)沒(méi)有想到威廉王子會(huì)乘坐經(jīng)濟(jì)艙。天曉得，這是不是很棒很謙遜？”

據(jù)介紹，飛機(jī)上威廉王子靠窗而坐，全程1.5小時(shí)只喝了水。同一航班6日票價(jià)為250英鎊（約2600人民幣）。在孟菲斯，威廉手拉行李箱，在安保人員的護(hù)送下與機(jī)上乘客分開(kāi)登機(jī)。在達(dá)拉斯機(jī)場(chǎng)，這位31歲的王子又被拍到身著牛仔褲和淡藍(lán)色襯衣，穿著白色球鞋，戴著棒球帽離開(kāi)美國(guó)航空公司俱樂(lè)部。

據(jù)了解，出行期間兩位王子均由4名安保人員24小時(shí)全程陪同，這些安保人員來(lái)自英國(guó)皇家護(hù)衛(wèi)隊(duì)，由納稅人出資資助。知情人士估計(jì)，他們此次出行5天，包括安保人員飛機(jī)票、住宿費(fèi)等在內(nèi)的安保費(fèi)用約8.4萬(wàn)美元（約52萬(wàn)元人民幣）。

這并非英國(guó)皇室第一次節(jié)儉參加婚禮。2011年，威廉王子及凱特王妃在愛(ài)丁堡參加完扎拉·菲利普斯婚禮后與普通乘客一同乘坐飛機(jī)前往曼徹斯特，令同機(jī)乘客驚詫不已。同時(shí)，哈里王子搭乘易捷航空返回倫敦。

在經(jīng)濟(jì)低迷時(shí)，英國(guó)女王曾要求王室成員保持節(jié)儉克制，禁止過(guò)分奢侈。但因公出行時(shí)，英國(guó)王子則與其隨從人員搭乘頭等艙或經(jīng)濟(jì)艙。
