Royal helicopters land back to back at Kensington Palace

Video footage shows two royal helicopters landing back to back at Kensington Palace's helicopter landing site.
In the first helicopter was Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, returning from a royal engagement in Newcastle. In the second helicopter was Princess Anne, returning from a royal engagement at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate.
The helicopters, part of The Queens Helicopter Flight based at RAF Odiham, fly the royals across the UK, providing the highest standard of helicopter service to Members of the Royal Family on official engagements.

Passed by the duke of Kent doing his shopping in kensington high street, no security, no nothing.I think most people did not know who he was.

They have a right to enjoy their inheritance from their ancestors from generation to generation. Don’t be jealous people. If you were the one in this position, you wouldn’t complain at all; It is just because it’s them. Let us learn to respect each other and be content with what we have and work hard for ourselves to leave an inheritance for our generations also so that they may enjoy like these. God Save the Queen and bless us all.

Yet another engagement for Princess Anne! The helicopter landed in the grounds of Kensington Palace where the Duke of Kent lives.

[@lsmith9249]

when Anne has evening engagements in London she has an apartment in St James Palace, so she would have needed a car. The Duke of Kent and his wife have an apartment in kensington palace so it was only a short distance

Please Can anyone answer why the helicopter always turns round on take off and comes down then rises fast in a up wards position. Many pilots just take off and get speed as they rise with a straight flight ahead.

So the Princess Royal gets car escort from helicopter landing but the elderly Duke of Kent is made to walk through field terrain where he could have easily tripped and injured himself????

It gives the chopper an upward boost. Like a runner launching off a starting block.

[@cremebrulee4759]

Is that Prince Edward walking so stiffly? Did he have an accident? He's not that old, and I just saw a picture of him walking at a Golden Jubilee celebration, and he was walking much better than this. Maybe he was just stiff from sitting too long. It happens when you get older.

No it was the Duke of Kent the Queens cousin in hi late 80’s . He regularly appears with the Queen ! Wondering why they didn’t send a car for him too !
