Doesn't seem like such an odd question or assumption for them to make after having only just having met the royal couple on board a commercial flight themselves. Who'd have thought that would happen? Maybe they wanted to find out if this is a more common occurance than one would have thought especially since since England is a small island country rather than a large continent - exwhyzee
exwhyzee do you really think I just wrote that the heir to the British throne and his wife were on a commercial flight and the couple at the next table in our restaurant just met them? At first I thought you were joking but you're not are you?
My daughter and I were on a plane when Buckingham Palace made the announcement to the press that William and Kate were having their second child. By lunch time the next day we hadn't had chance to see an English newspaper, the hotel TV only showed news in Italian and although I had just figured out how to log on to the hotel wifi on my ipad I was more concerned with finding directions to the Colosseum that looking at news.
I may come from a small island country but at least my reading comprehension is above first grade level.
