KATE Middleton and Prince William have touched down on their Caribbean tour – and unsurprisingly, they didn’t travel in economy.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge landed in Belize after an 11-hour flight on a private jet, which is decked out with plush seating and a VIP area.

The RAF Voyager is used by the UK government, but it’s made available to the Royal Family when they travel abroad while in an official capacity.
The jet has a spacious VIP section reserved solely for the most important people on the plane, with lie-flat seats and curtains for privacy, as well as two passenger cabins.
Government officials can travel in the central business class seating section of the jet which has 58 chairs.
Members of the press and TV crews are sat in the economy class seating section at the back of the plane, which has 100 seats.

On Instagram, the Cambridges shared a photo of them exiting the plane just after they landed.
They captioned it: “Arriving in Belize, the first stop of our Caribbean tour!”
They couple are due to stay in Belize, formerly British Honduras, until later this morning.
After Belize, the Duke and Duchess are due to visit Jamaica and the Bahamas. Meetings and a variety of events are scheduled with politicians and a range of civic leaders.
In 2019, the Cambridges were onboard the RAF Voyager when it was forced to abandon its landing after it was caught in terrible storms.
The pilot had to abandon landing in Islamabad and return to Lahore after two failed attempts to land in two different airport.
Prince William was worried about his fellow passengers and strolled down the Airbus A330 to make sure everyone was ok.
The second in line to the throne even joked with those on board, saying he had been flying and the turbulence had even made him “spill his vodka and tonic at one point.”
