Royal editor Rebecca English recounted a particularly challenging plane ride with the then-Prince Charles, describing it as an "awkward" experience in a recent newsletter.
English detailed the incident in the "Palace Confidential" newsletter, explaining how journalists covering the Royal Family sometimes face difficult situations due to the proximity of their work.
She noted a significant difference in how royals and their staff handle negative or uncomplimentary stories. According to English, a story she reported about Prince Charles during a foreign tour allegedly led to a "major diplomatic incident" and a tense journey home.
