Prince Harry's claim that his wife Meghan bought a first-class ticket from Mexico to the UK for her dad Thomas Markle so he could better avoid press intrusion has prompted a mocking response from the airline involved. In his memoir Spare, the Duke of Sussex said the Duchess purchased a ticket for her father through Air New Zealand, adding that it was 'first class, booked and paid for by Meg'.
Detailing the incident, Prince Harry recalled: "We told him, leave Mexico right now: A whole new level of harassment is about to rain down on you, so come to Britain. Now."
But the Mirror reports that Air New Zealand has denied that Thomas could have flown first from Mexico to the UK through their airline, claiming that such a flight doesn't exist. Speaking with the New Zealand Herald, Air New Zealand gave the following statement: "We've never had flights between Mexico and the UK. And we only have Business Premier."
