It might not have been a royal move, but Prince Harry shunned his usual VIP treatment and opted to fly back from Queen's eldest granddaughter Zara Phillips' wedding in Scotland with a budget airline.

Harry ignored more luxurious modes of transport and instead paid a knock down fare to travel from Scotland with easyJet.

But a spokeswoman for the airline refused to confirm whether the prince was a passenger.

She added, "Due to passenger confidentiality, we cannot disclose the names of any passengers." Clarence House declined to comment on the prince's personal travel arrangements.

Meanwhile, Prince William and wife Kate left fellow passengers stunned on Sunday as they jetted to Manchester with budget airline Flybe.

The Royal couple shunned a private jet to make the journey from Edinburgh.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are understood to have flown with bodyguards but went through the usual check in and security procedures. And they mingled with travellers during the hour-long flight because the airline doesn't have a first class section.
