Prince Harry and Meghan Markle recently enjoyed a child-free vacation on a Caribbean island frequented by celebrities.
After their relaxing getaway, the couple was spotted in Atlanta, having flown in on a private flight from the tiny island of Canouan in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
Meghan, prepared for the cooler weather, donned a black long-sleeve maxi dress, brown slip-on sandals, and a blue scarf, while Harry followed behind her with his knapsack.
It remains uncertain whether the duo traveled to Atlanta for work or leisure, as their close friend Tyler Perry owns a massive studio lot in the city.
However, what caught people’s attention was the contradiction between the couple’s previous advocacy for climate change and their use of a private jet.
Despite preaching about sustainability, planting trees, and limiting their family to two children, Harry and Meghan seemed to have disregarded their own message.
This raised questions about their financial situation and how they could afford such an extravagant lifestyle.
Speculations arose regarding whether Oprah had bankrolled their house, since their Netflix and Spotify deals were reportedly completed.
Furthermore, Meghan’s children’s book received mixed reviews, while Harry’s book generated significant revenue.
Considering the cost of their lifestyle, including a monthly house payment amounting to hundreds of thousands of dollars, it is no surprise that private jets of this size can cost up to $50,000 per hour.
In the past, Meghan and Harry had a habit of relying on wealthy individuals like Tyler Perry for private jet usage.
However, this time they were forced to pay for a private plane service, known as a timeshare for private planes.
It seems that Tyler Perry refused to lend Meghan one of his private jets, which led the couple to seek alternative arrangements.
A source revealed that the photo of Meghan and Harry was taken at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, the second busiest airport in the world.
It is worth noting that Tyler Perry keeps his largest and most prestigious jets at Cobb County International Airport (CCIA), not Hartsfield-Jackson.
By doing so, he receives $1.8 million in tax breaks, although this has resulted in funding cuts to local non-profit organizations.
The county argues that Tyler’s use of CCIA helps employ an additional ten full-time staff, although the math behind this claim remains questionable.
To maintain privacy and offset negative press, Tyler occasionally uses CCIA for some of his other jets, especially when traveling to Dallas.
However, since CCIA is located around 35 miles away from Hartsfield, it is unlikely that Meghan and Harry would have used this airport if they were flying on one of Tyler’s jets.
Tyler Perry has ten dedicated staff members at CCIA to serve him, indicating that the jet used by the couple did not belong to him.
The refusal of Tyler Perry to lend his private jet to Meghan and Harry has shed light on their changing circumstances.
While they once relied on the generosity of wealthy individuals, they are now facing the reality of paying for their own luxuries.
As they navigate their new chapter, it remains to be seen how their choices will align with their previous public image and messages.
