Prince Harry is once again experiencing a backlash after taking a private jet to return to Santa Barbara, California, following a polo match in Aspen, Colorado. As the Sussexes famously campaign against climate change, a royal expert calls them "out of touch," while others see them "fake eco-warriors."
Prince Harry, reportedly, took a two-hour private flight to go home after the Sentebale ISPS Handa Polo Club in Colorado on Aug. 19. Knowing he is a staunch supporter of the fight against global warming, many see this as a wrong move.
Royal expert Angela Levin told "talkRADIO" via Express that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, were either "out of touch" or "huge hypocrites." She continued that the couple would often tell the world what they had to do and she herself saw the importance of doing it.
However, Levin believed the two were not involved in their own campaign. "They have an exception because they are so grand and they are so important," she said.
The commentator added private jets had, at least, "10 times more damage to the atmosphere than a commercial jet." It could also do 50 times more damage than riding a train.
But for Prince Harry, Levin said nothing from these other means could apply to him. She also saw his move as "outrageous" and the same guy who would talk about being compassionate while not sympathetic to their own respective families.
In addition, the sixth in line to the throne was called a "fake eco-warrior" by a Twitter user, as netizens aired their sentiments about his decision to use a jet. Of course, the Sussexes top critic Piers Morgan had something to say about this issue, Sky News noted.
He called Prince Harry a "two-faced twerp" and asked everyone to "ignore him" if he would again preach about carbon footprints. If there were things he wanted to hear from the father-of-two, it would be a lecture about privilege and environmentalism.
Moreover, royal author Tom Quinn believed the prince's vision was obstructed if he would be the one to use private jets. Earlier this month, he told Mail Online that this move appeared to be "enormously hypocritical," considering all the talk he made about global warming.
He continued that Prince Harry might have seen himself as someone who would guide the rest of the world but not see his own behavior. Quinn even called it a "huge blind spot."
This was not the first time Prince Harry came under fire for using private jets despite his fight against climate change. Anyhow, he tried to defend this move, stressing it was all for his family's safety.
