Car, train or flight? Prince Harry decided to fly home from an Aspen polo tournament. The otherwise environmentally conscious Royal, however, did not board a line plane.
It is less than three months since Prince Harry described climate change as the most pressing problem facing mankind in a lecture. Prince Charles’ son has long been committed to environmental protection. In the much-quoted interview with Oprah Winfrey, Harry also talked about how important the topic was to him – especially as a father of two. But how serious is the prince really? Critics accuse him of hypocrisy after a flight in a private jet.
Prince Harry attended a polo tournament in Aspen, Colorado on Friday. It was the first official game participation since the 36-year-old moved to the United States with his wife Meghan Markle last year. The British newspaper “Daily Mail” published photos on Saturday that show that Harry made his return flight to his home in Santa Barbara, California in a private jet.
The pictures show how Harry leaves the plane, which is designed for a maximum of 20 people, at the airport in Santa Barbara and gets into an SUV. Allegedly, the twin-engine jet, which could have consumed more than ten tons of CO2 for a distance of around 1500 kilometers, is said to belong to the millionaire Marc Ganzi. By way of comparison: a scheduled flight on the same route would have consumed around 300 kilograms of CO2 per person – many times less than traveling in a private jet.
Author accuses Prince Harry of hypocrisy
Author Tom Quinn, who wrote a book about Harry and Meghan, accuses the Royal of hypocrisy. “Harry seems to want to teach the rest of the world while his own behavior doesn’t matter,” he told the. Harry has been criticized for traveling by private jet in the past.
Harry was not participating in the polo tournament for personal pleasure, it was a charity tournament, the proceeds of which will be donated. A total of 3.5 million US dollars were raised. His wife Meghan was not there. It is also unclear whether Harry was only a passenger in the private jet. It is quite possible that the CO2 sling would have taken off without the prince on board.
