Vicki is BOOED on her flight home due to a major airline/protocol snaffoo:

"Just as the Victoria finally boarded the aircraft, airline officials announced to the flight’s passengers that a VIP would be joining their flight.

But when members of the Jet Airways flight crew then added that the flight had been delayed to accommodate the Swedish royal, the plane erupted in a chorus of boos.

Following the incident, Jet Airways issued a public apology for Victoria’s less-than-royal treatment.

"The princess was taken to the wrong terminal by the government protocol personnel. The princess was carrying at least ten bags with her, which had delayed the flight. We on our part have apologized to the princess,” said Jet Airway’s spokesperson Ragini Chopra in a statement."



The others flying on board should have been issued an apology IMO, not Vicki. 

ITA, SJ... 'at least 10 bags...' OH yeah...how many bags is that exactly?
and the Swedish tax people enjoy picking up extra luggage fee, like their Danish cousins did?

Its all a rort, a bl***dy RORT!!!!!!!!!!!!

do people think that it is any different with other royals? they all have extra luggage. how many bags do you (you in general) think maxima (she probably has double the luggage when she travels back from argentina )? or rania takes with her on her trips, any trip (triple the luggage after her shopping sprees)?

i bet anybody in a similar position would too. they don't have to pack or unpack. servants do it for them. couldn't be easier.

The Princess’s travel nightmare began when Jet Airways officials failed to meet her delegation at the airport when she arrived for a flight out of New Delhi late last week following a 10-day tour of India.

After subsequent paperwork delays, the heir to the Swedish throne was then taken to what turned out to be the wrong terminal.

If this is what happened I don't know why Victoria was booed, none of it was her fault it was the fault of the airline.

Well, things could have been planned better by the court.

Weird planning also an incident with a Royal reporter shows. She works for SDT (Swedish BB) and usually they always get an interview with Victoria during such trips (nothing special, just some blabla about the trip)
As it seems this time it was difficult to get the interview and the hope was already given up, when it was suggested to get it at the airport done.
There the reporter had to wait until 15-20 before the starting time! And then Victoria could even not stop babbling (which must have been surely nice for the reporter, but which was also causing a risk of her having to take the next plane)
In the end Victoria´s adjutant helped the reporter to get through the security check, so that she could take her booked plane. But if this wouldn´t have worked, she would have had to take an other plane (unlike VIP guests, journalists can´t board the plane last minute usually)
IMO this behaviour is quite "brazen" or stupid. SDT is the only mag still caring for the spinster
