having fooled all but one of the paparazzi she was flying out of Northolt
This phrase puzzles me - must I really understand HRH was taking the paparazzi for passengers? I always understood she tried to keep upwind from them ?? And then fooling those same people she just accepted and carried as passengers? The Brits have always been a bit queer, their royals not least, but this defies imagination.
And before anyone else says: my own royals have shown some queer pranks, too, yes, especially recently. Do not forget their ancestry was collected from Old Blighty!
