Thought lower type royals used it, what hapened to the 743 and 744?
What makes you think that the two -SP's are still in operation?

Ok so they may not be now, but in 2017 he rode one to Moscow on a first state visit by a king.

Could it be he's trying to be more one with the common man, relate more to his subjects, etc. Maybe he's tired of getting a bum rap with the media. What's one to do with a pesky journalist in a bastion of free speech like the kingdom...
Or could it be that the other two aircraft were in maintenance? Both -SP's are now out of service.

Drat!
Nothing worse than a reasonable and logical explanation.

Maybe for missions bigger than HZ-SK1 & HZ-SK2 together can do....?
