The Queen's planes are set to be sold off next year as part of defence cuts, according to reports.<\/p>\n

The move may force her, and other members of the Royal Family, to use Boris Johnson's jet instead – which has a huge Union Flag design on the aircraft. <\/p>\n

Airliners used by the royals since the 1980s are set to be withdrawn from service to save money, and there won't be a dedicated aircraft for the first time in the Queen's reign.<\/p>\n

Reports state there are currently no plans for a replacement for the four BAE-146 passenger jets.<\/p>\n

The Queen, Prince Charles and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will have to share the Prime Minister's RAF Voyager plane, which underwent a controversial \u00a3900,000 makeover in 2020. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The decision is part of the Ministry of Defence's Integrated Review, which also plans to reduce the Army by 10,000 soldiers.<\/p>\n

Important ships and frontline aircraft are also set to be withdrawn from service as part of the controversial plans.<\/p>\n

The results of the review are due to be formally revealed in two stages later this month.<\/p>\n

The four BAE-146 regional planes are part of the RAF's historic 32 (Royal) Squadron, known as The Queen's Flight.<\/p>\n
