The aristocrat's father was left 'fuming' after a little known Brexit clause saw him turned away from his Ryanair flight
Tim Hanbury, father of Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, was turned away from his flight at Stansted Airport over the weekend despite his passport being in date.
Scheduled to board the Stansted flight ahead of a weekend away, Mr Hanbury was stopped by Ryanair staff at the Essex airport because of his passport's issue rather than expiry date.Tim Hanbury is father of Rose Hanbury, Marchioness of Cholmondeley, who is a close friend of the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Despite the aristocrat's passport not expiring for another nine months, according to the newly instated Brexit rule, a traveller's passport issue date must fall under the 10 year cap.Since Brexit, British passports over ten years old are no longer valid when travelling to the European Union. The rule has caught out countless travellers since the introduction, with Mr Hanbury described as "very upset and frustrated" by one of his friends, according to the Daily Mail.
