Royal Suite: Last News

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once had a lucky escape when their plane was struck by lightning during a flight.The royal couple were flying to Amsterdam for a party when £40million luxury Dassault Falcon 7X was struck on the nose of the jet — terrifyingly close to its navigational equipment.Thankfully, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex both survived the close shave in September 2018 and arrived at Schiphol airport unscathed.They had hired the aeroplane for an eye-watering £20,000 to attend the star-studded event in the Netherlands, which was attended by Eddie Redmayne, Nick Grimshaw and Jenna Coleman.The jet was then reportedly grounded for nine days as it underwent repairs, with it suggested to have been fitted with a new white nose cone.Harry and Meghan are thought to have boarded at London Oxford Airport, a privately owned airport located 48 miles from their former residence at Frogmore Cottage.Having flown out on September 21, they were said to have taken a return flight two days later, with a replacement jet being sent out to them to take them home.A more recent flight to the Netherlands last month appeared to have been less dramatic — and they will certainly have been quite comfortable at their luxury hotel room when they arrived.The Sussexes stayed at the five-star Hilton Hotel in the centre of the Hague for the duration of the Invictus Games.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletter by clicking here.The couple even managed to bag the hotel’s exclusive £2,000 a night Royal Suite.The hotel's 1,506sqft VIP suite offers a king size bed and two state-of-the art “rain forest” showers.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may have “stepped back” from their roles as frontline royals, but they still get to stay in the “Royal Suite”.The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had been staying at the five-star Hilton Hotel in the centre of the Hague for the duration of the Invictus Games.And not just in any room, but in the hotel’s exclusive £2,000 a night Royal Suite.The hotel's 1,506sqft VIP suite offers a king size bed and two state-of-the art “rain forest” showers.The suite’s stone-coloured bathrooms are fitted with water-saving Ecosmart technology, in keeping with Harry and Meghan’s green agenda.In addition to the two bathrooms there’s also an extra loo attached to the suite’s integral meeting room so visitors don’t use up the VIP couple’s loo roll.The five star hotel, built on the site of the Dutch city’s main post office, is almost fully booked at the moment, due at least in part to the Sussexes substantial entourage and security detail for the Invictus Games.The Royal suite is geared towards business as well as luxury, with high speed internet access, multiple phone jacks, and an extra rollaway bed for a secretary or PA.There are telephones everywhere – even one next to the bath.The suite, located on the top floor of the hotel, offers commanding views of The Hague from its private terrace and little extra touches include fluffy bathrobes and slippers, a Nespresso machine and an iPhone docking station.Despite their substantial entourage, the Duke and Duchess were keeping a low profile.

Dubai hotel Burj Al Arab is opening up to non-guests for the first time.However, it's not free - as the establishment is charging 399 Dirhams (£80) a pop for the pleasure.That is a fair bit less than it costs to stay at the hotel though, as it costs £1,000 upwards a night to stay inside it.The hotel, which sits on its own island jutting out from the city’s coast, is calling the tour “a fascinating journey of discovery into the untold stories of a global icon”.The tour, which launched last week, includes a walk around the public areas of the hotel and the chance to take photos, as well as getting a glimpse of the £6,500-a-night Royal Suite.You can also check memorabilia from sporting and cultural events held at the Burj, including “the decks
