I checked the B2B thread to see if he'd asked if a LAX-LHR-LAX was possible at Heathrow - T3 to T5, B2B, with a quick side trip to Westminster Abbey. He must have had other sources than FT.

Can't speak for BA but it often happens with EK F, with either low-level UAE royals or some celebrity or another. The cabins are almost always full, so someone gets bumped. Typically (from experience), it's a guaranteed F seat on the next flight plus some very hefty mileage as compensation.

His Royal Highness the Prince Henry, Duke of Sussex (if we’re being ultra picky) 😁😁😁

Monarchy and titles are sooo complicated. Glad I’m only a Baron.

The Royals don't exclusively fly in First. In fact they're often NOT in First.

I wonder if Prince Harry still carrying a British Royal passport or just an ordinary British passport?

After three days and 25 posts about Harry, has there really not been a single sighting of any celebrities on BA?
I'd be happy with someone just spotting another regular flyertalker, a tic-tok influencer or even someone from JLS

My wife spotted a celebrity on the safety video yesterday! Does that count ? (I didn’t!)

But I have been ba97 stalking and I have discovered something very exciting (this happens a lot less than you would imagine!).
(Don't worry I will give the poor person the heads-up beforehand so they can tell me to stay away....

Pre lockdown, I also recall seeing Mr Salmond in GF quite often, in fact I started to wonder if he lived there. He used to hang out around the Champagne bar, and often looked rather disheveled, almost as if he had spent the day on the lash.

I mean that would explain a lot (if he spent most of his days drinking).
