Turbulent Royal flight

I was just reading about William and Kate's flight between Lahore and Islamabad, a distance of 160 miles, which should have lasted 25 minutes but actually took 2 hours and they returned to Lahore after two attempted landings in Islamabad, and suffered bad turbulence with lots of thunderstorm activity.
Curious what you pilots take is on this as I am questioning whether they should have attempted this flight in the first place given how bad the weather was.
Be gentle with me - I am just a simple engineer and frequent SLF!
