King Charles raised eyebrows with a sustainable move during his recent trip to Kenya, seemingly aimed at Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The royal couple opted for a private jet when traveling to the Caribbean earlier this month, but King Charles and Queen arrived in Kenya today on the RAF Voyager, a sustainable plane.
This marked the first Commonwealth trip of Charles’ reign.
Cameron Walker, the Royal Correspondent for GB News, shared a video of the King and Queen on the plane, reading their itineraries for the state visit.
He revealed that the RAF Voyager, used to transport British VIPs, had its fuel tanks filled with 40% sustainable aviation fuel, as per King Charles’ request.
In contrast, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had chosen a Dassault Falcon 7X jet for their holiday trip from New Jersey to Canoeon, followed by a private jet for a four-hour journey between the exclusive retreat and Atlanta, Georgia, where they attended a conference on mental health hosted by Project Healthy Minds.
Critics have been quick to point out the apparent hypocrisy of Harry and Meghan, who advocate for reducing carbon footprints while frequently opting for private jets.
In contrast, King Charles has long been an advocate for environmental protection, as evidenced by his statement in 1970 about the devastating effects of pollution.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s frequent use of private jets, including trips from the US to Germany and Portugal, has raised doubts about their commitment to environmental causes.
Nana Akua from GB News expressed skepticism about taking Harry and Meghan seriously as environmentalists when they fail to practice what they preach.
Meanwhile, reports suggest that tensions between Prince Harry and King Charles have escalated.
Royal commentator Daniela Elsa accused the couple of changing drastically since their move to the US in 2020, going so far as to call them “total hypocrites.”
Elsa noted that the couple’s behavior has become increasingly snobbish and self-important, with a belief that their actions hold more significance than those of others.
Harry and Meghan’s disregard for traditional expectations within the royal family has been a topic of discussion.
While they are not obligated to conform, they often assume the role of instructing others on how to behave.
However, Daniela Elsa emphasized that the couple should lead by example rather than simply dictating what others should do.
In conclusion, King Charles’ sustainable approach to his trip to Kenya sends a clear message to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, highlighting their contradictory behavior when it comes to environmental concerns.
The tensions between Harry and his father, as well as the couple’s perceived arrogance, further add to the scrutiny surrounding their actions.
It remains to be seen how Harry and Meghan will navigate these criticisms and continue their advocacy work while addressing the inconsistencies in their own choices.
