Well it is remarkeble on their behalve,not acknowledging that is silly,and you would be/are,a silly little boy.
Ever saw the Prince of Wales stand in line in similar cases?
In this country one can never be sure what happens,like anywhere else,the world has changed and have we,or at least some of us with a sence for reality.

: The plane isn't standing about 24 hrs a day
: waiting for HM needing it.
: As you allready mentioned yourself it is
: used by ministers and other members of the
: Royal House also. As it is highly unlikely
: HM will need to return from a holliday (i
: cannot remember an occasion in recent years)
: there is little worry about the expenses.
:
: As for them standing in line to enter
: another country, im not going to act as if
: that is something remarkable on their
: behalf. It's normal procedure and if they
: don't like it they shouldn't travel.

: So the plane would have to fly empty to

:
: No,I think I know where you are getting
: at,but that doesn't get anyone anywhere as
: it is far from reality.
: That won't happen,HM has her perks and she
: is fully entitled to that.

: And about standing in line,for a ticket or
: customs.Apparently it is already forgotten
: that our hja and Patrick wrote that all of
: the guests,read:Alexander,Máxima,Constantijn
: & Laurentien and the others,stood in
: line for customs like everybody else when
: they attended Bernardo Guillermo's wedding
: in NYC last month.
: It's not that they themselves insisted on a
: special treatment,they didn't.
:
: People do forget so easily if it so suits
: them I just ignore it alltogether beforehand
: knowing the outcome,
: as the outcome is always the same.

: You have to reread my post.
: I wrote that for her private travels
: (holliday, visiting her son and his family
: in London etc) she could easily book a
: commercial ticket and pay for that herself.
: In case a national emergency requires her to
: suddenly return home than the government
: (state funded) plane can be sent to fetch
: the monarch from her holliday destination. I
: never wrote or implied she would have to pay
: for that trip as that would be the nation
: needing it's sovereign so it would be
: work-related.

: What??HM paying for state related trips?Have

: That fact that she cannot use every means of
: transport doesn't mean she cannot pay
: (partly) for it. Besides i don't see why HM
: could not use a normal scheduled flight if
: she travels in private. With her hair not
: in the helmet shape and a pair of glasses
: many people won't even recognise her. If for
: national emergency reasons she has to return
: swiftly the government plane can be sent to
: fetch the monarch.
