Robbie Williams’ kids ‘don’t fly first class’ with their parents

Robbie Williams and his wife have one very strict plane rule when they fly with their kids - and it’s set to prove divisive.

Robbie Williams has a very strict rule when it comes to going on holiday with his kids, and it starts the moment the family get on the plane.

Williams, who’s currently in Australia promoting his new Netflix documentary, shares four children with his wife, Ayda Field.

It turns out when Teddy, 11, Charlie, nine, Coco, five and Beau, three, get on the plane with their parents, they’re made to walk in the opposite direction to their seats.

While Williams and Field like to indulge in first class seats, sadly for their children, they’re stuck slumming it in coach class.

“My kids fly economy whenever we fly. I turn left and they turn right,” admitted Field. “That’s terrible. I mean, people will think I’m such a d**k,” she told Sunday Times.

“There’s no interest in raising brats. My kids will know [economy] is where they will sit in a plane until they can pay to put themselves in a different part of the plane.”

However, they aren’t the only showbiz parents that like of off-load their kids to the flight attendants when stepping onto the plane.

Fellow Brit Gordon Ramsay shares the same viewpoint, saying back in 2017 he refuses to allow his kids anywhere near him when on a flight.

Speaking to The Telegraph in 2017, he said: “They don’t sit with us in first class. They haven’t worked anywhere near hard enough to afford that. At that age, at that size, you’re telling me they need to sit in first class? No, they do not. We’re really strict on that.”

Ramsay explained that he wanted his kids to “earn” the right to sit in first class and he believes they only deserve such a privilege once they’ve “grafted” for it.

He continued: “I turn left with Tana [his wife] and they turn right and I say to the chief stewardess, ‘Make sure those little f***ers don’t come anywhere near us, I want to sleep on this plane’. I worked my f***ing arse off to sit that close to the pilot and you appreciate it more when you’ve grafted for it.”
