The girlfriend of Britain's Prince William - who was on her way to meet the prince in Barbados - amazed airline staff this week when she turned down their offer of a better seat.
The 26-year-old also insisted cabin crew treated her like any other passenger, saying: "Please call me Kate."
A source told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "She may be dating the future king but she's so down to earth. It's the first time we have had a passenger turn down the chance of an upgrade."

The first class ticket for the flight was worth £7,000.
Kate was making the 6,000 mile journey to the Caribbean to see the prince as he steps off the HMS Iron Duke, where he has been serving a five-week secondment.
The couple are rumoured to be spending next week on holiday in Mustique.
