Twitter Hails The King Of Sweden For Flying Commercial To Delhi & Carrying His Own Bags

In the era where OTT airport looks and appearances have become the ‘in’ thing, it is very rare to find people with a massive fan following living a normal life. We often spot politicians, celebrities and other well-known people at the airports but how often have you seen them carry their own luggage? It is very rare to find people like Sara Ali Khan and the King of Sweden who unapologetically ditched the VIP culture and weren’t shy to portray their real-life to the world even if it means carrying their own luggage.

His Majesty Carl Gustaf Folke Hubertus, the King of Sweden and Her Majesty Silvia Renate Sommerlath arrived in India on their third visit to the country today, reported India Today.

The Royal couple was well received by MP Babul Supriyo at the New Delhi airport.

Images of the Royals arriving at Delhi were shared by Air India on their Twitter handle as they took the commercial plane to fly down to India.

The pictures immediately went viral when people spotted the King carrying his own luggage. People were impressed by his humility and praised him for setting a standard for everyone to follow.

Very very inspirational and humbling to see the King and Queen of Sweden carry their own bags on board. #Salute https://t.co/Qj7scmzJgQ

Inspiring to see a king travel by a commercial service and that too of another country's airline. In these times of economic slowdown can India's leaders not demonstrate the same frugality?

Wow carrying his own luggage. No vip business. When do we learn from them and shed the babu culture?

Note in the pic _
1. King flies commercial.
2. Carries his own luggage.
3. No hangers on. No VIP BS.
4. No fancy paraphernalia.

Just a civilized nation.
Not a 'third world democracy'

Great for Air India! Also a huge lesson for our own VIP's.

It is indeed refreshing to see royals ditch their private jet to travel commerical and then carry their own luggage. There’s a lot to learn from them.
