The Cessna 680 Citation Sovereign plane is decked out with state-of-the-art interiors, including spacious bathrooms, mood lighting, comfortable leather seats, and on-board WiFi with executive desks.

The Sussexes likely chose the fly via private jet for ease and comfort given it was their children's first long-haul flight to the UK.
