Airline's cheeky Prince Harry dig after Meghan Markle first class flight claims

An airline has left people divided after issuing a tongue-in-cheek response to a claim made by Prince Harry in Spare.

In just one of many much-discussed segments of the Duke of Sussex's new memoir, Harry claims that his wife Meghan bought a first-class ticket for her father Thomas Markle to allow him to escape media intrusion by flying from Mexico over to the UK. Harry writes in Spare: "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.'"

Harry described the flight in question as "Air New Zealand, first class, booked and paid for by Meg." However, Air New Zealand themselves were quick to refute the claims and suggested that Harry's anecdote was false, with a spokesperson telling the New Zealand Herald: "We've never had flights between Mexico and the UK. And we only have Business Premier."
