Newly-wed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s private jet was struck by lightning in a terrifying mid-air drama according to media reports.
The royal pair were on their way to Amsterdam when the Dassault Falcon 7X was hit, and jet’s nose cone was struck perilously close to navigation equipment last month. Despite being zapped with 30million volts, the aircraft landed safely at Schiphol Airport. But it was grounded for more than a week for urgent repairs and safety checks, according to airport sources. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex had flown from London Oxford Airport to a star-studded boat party thrown by Soho house founder Nick House. The three-day bash – celebrating the 55th anniversary of the exclusive members’ club – featured guests like Michael McIntyre, Eddie Redmayne and Jenna Coleman.
Nick Grimshaw took to the decks for a DJ set at the lavish do. Rapper Tinie Tempah gave an impromptu performance. Guests were also invited on a guided tour of Amsterdam’s famous red light district – given a miss by Meghan and Harry – and a boat trip down the canals. In the early days of their relationship, Meghan and Harry enjoyed dates at London’s Soho House branch – where they were first introduced.
