Prince William flies coach — just like you!

After a weekend spent attending a friend's wedding in Tennessee, Prince William was seen flying — gasp — coach on a flight to Texas. An intrepid reporter from ABC 24 News in Memphis tweeted pictures of the unroyal activity. That's him up front and on the left.
Prince William chose a window seat and reportedly ordered a water during the 90-minute flight to Dallas, where he caught a connecting flight back to London.
It's unclear if he signed up for an American Airlines credit card to get a free ticket.
