Prime Minister David Cameron spotted scarfing Pringles while flying economy on budget airline

British Prime Minister David Cameron has frequently tried — and failed — to convince the British public that he's a man of the people. But he is a man of the people — one who's Cambridge-educated and related to the Queen and doesn't quite realize that you're not supposed to eat a hot dog with a knife and a fork! Luckily, the Prime Minister recently figured out how to plow through a package of Pringles, as noticed by a fellow passenger on his easyJet flight to Portugal. A teenage girl identified only as Ashleigh posted a video of Cameron sitting across the aisle from her, shoving the contents of a £1.80 can of paprika-flavored chips steadily into his mouth.

"Guys, I'm crying he was eating Pringles," Ashleigh wrote on Twitter, accompanying her posts of selfies in which Cameron's own economy seat is visible in the background. Ashleigh has since made her Twitter account private, changing her bio to: "YES IM THE ONE WHO FILMED DAVID CAMERON EATING PRINGLES GOODBYE."

The BBC reported that Cameron's bodyguards were sitting beside him, possibly spending the flight with their knees wedged under their chins, wondering when Cameron was going to drop the Common Man act.

Cameron was flying to Portugal to re-join his family on their summer vacation after a brief return home to the UK, during which he led V-J Day celebrations with the Queen and Prince Phillip.

Cameron has been an easyJet passenger before, on one other previous vacation to Portugal. And once, for his wife's 40th birthday, the two of them flew to Spain on Ryanair. In July, Prince William, too, was spotted on a Ryanair flight from London to Glasgow.

This is all great and everything, but we'd really like to see Pope Francis sitting quietly on a Spirit flight out of Philadelphia. And if he had a box of Federal Donuts open on his lap? FORGET IT.
