Local News Reporter Catches Prince William Flying Home In Coach

Prince William proved he is pretty down to earth this weekend when he was caught flying coach on an American Airlines flight from Memphis to Dallas on Sunday.

The prince was in Memphis for best buddy Guy Pelly's wedding to Holiday Inn heiress, Lizzie Wilson.

Local Memphis news reporter Eli Ross was the first to spot the prince on the first leg of his plane ride back to London.

Ross initially tweeted a picture of William about to board the aircraft surrounded by security:

The news reporter tracked the prince even after their flight had landed:

Prince Harry was slightly less low key, flying to Memphis for the wedding on a private jet from Miami, where he had been celebrating Pelly's bachelor party. William, meanwhile, had a stop in Chicago on his way from England.
