That is hilarious @Quest Fanning. "estimates it could be sold for as much as £500,000,000. Potential buyers are instructed to ring AMAC Aerospace in Switzerland if they want to make an offer."

I saw the plane parked at Sky Harbor in Phoenix for almost a week about two years ago. I heard that one of the royal family members was in Scottsdale for treatment at the Mayo clinic. I was fortunate to see it take off when I was driving past the airport a couple of days later.

Lufthansa or Korean Air should purchase this and add it to their 747-8 fleets

Ya "shopping", because that is the only thing that monarchies do! How naive.

i actually love the decor...super fancy. i'd love to own a plane like this, 15 hour flights on it probably don't feel like anything!!

Hi Fly should buy it and lease it to Norwegian!
