The drama turned up another level when they spoiled the operation and burned through the Queen's miles.
The body of Queen Elizabeth II, who inspired the hit series The Crown, was transported by train from Scotland to London.
The popular British public relations woman was supposed to be traveling with her family on a British Airways flight. The plans hit a roadblock after Her Majesty's British Airways Executive Club points were taken away by Harry and Megan.
A British Airways source told The Takeoff Nap that the airline usually zeroes out an Executive Club member's point balance after they die. We made a one-time exception for the queen because she was a very prolific traveler. Twenty years ago, she asked if she could burn her points on a flight to bring her body home.
She snorted and said she didn't want to redeem her points on any more magazine subscriptions. We agreed. It was difficult to say no to the woman. She got us a lot sauced before she asked. The queen made a drink.
The ferry flight carrying the caskets was scrubbed on Friday shortly after the arrival of the Suits star in London.
There weren't enough points left in Mrs. Elizabeth II's account to cover the flight
The last of the Queen's points was used for a first class ticket.
The Takeoff Nap was told exclusively by Buckingham Palace and British Airways that the reason Prince Harry wasn't at Balmoral Castle was because he was on hold with British Airways trying to get his wife.
Buckingham Palace sources say that since they moved to California, they have been using the Queen's account like crazy. We don't know if the woman was woken by the traitorous ginger or if she was woken by something else. Thirty-two million of them was the amount she had. They used all of them on first class tickets.
Harry couldn't get there before the queen died. She had 198,000 points left. There was a first class ticket. Harry had to purchase an economy ticket and use his miles to upgrade. It was too late for him to say goodbye.
The source said that Megs didn't have to fly business class. It's the horror.
A Buckingham Palace source said, "I kept telling her to change her frequent flyer account password." The name wasCorgi12345. She was a big fan of corgis, you know. It would be easy for someone to access the account and use it for their own benefit.
The Takeoff Nap was told that the royal family didn't like charter flights and British Airways wasn't very generous.
British Airways is not a charity according to Martin Campling. When the queen asked us not to wipe her balance, we went above and beyond. It isn't our fault that those two people used her account.
There is no word on how the family will pay for a trip back to California.
