Eco-warriors Harry and Meghan flew into a new hypocrisy row last night as it emerged that they used a private jet to go on holiday to the South of France – their third private jet flight in just eight days. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex arrived in Nice on Wednesday aboard a 12-seater Cessna aircraft. Dressed in a white blouse and cream sun hat, Meghan, 38, was spotted cradling the couple’s three-month-old son Archie as she left the plane which is registered to the luxury firm NetJets.

Money quote:

Labour MP Teresa Pearce said she was ‘surprised’ by the couple’s jet-setting. ‘Given the position they have taken publicly about being responsible on climate change, this does seem an anomaly which they should look at,’ she said. ‘I find this quite surprising because it doesn’t fit with their public image and the way they’re so concerned about the planet and the environment.’

Really??? This is par for the course for LimousinePrivate Jet Leftists.

Harry and Meghan’s trip to France is estimated to have had a carbon footprint of just over three tons and their earlier trip to Ibiza is believed to have had a footprint of more than four tons. The carbon footprint of an average person in the UK is 13 tons a year.

Limiting carbon emissions is for the serfs.

These two are providing air cover and diverting attention from Prince Andrew who is getting shelled by artillery bombard over the Epstein affair.

Why would they care? they’re “royalty.” They will never have to work a day in their lives.

I hate the fascination with royalty by some Americans. This country eliminated the stupid idea of inherited power a long time ago. The French did too, in a more dramatic way.

How can this even be “news?” Liberal elites act like this all the time. Having the English royal family do this is expected. They’re “Royals” - that’s what they do.

It offends me much less than the holier than thou libs.

I wonder if something other than vacationing is on their itinerary.

Didn’t Epstein stop in Paris right before he flew back to the US and was arrested.

Netjets is fantastic. I have a wealthy friend who is a member, and it will forever spoil you for flying. No lines, No TSA, no surly, bitter, middle aged flight attendants bossing you around. The way travel should be, and rarely is.

"Harry revealed that he and Meghan wanted a ‘maximum’ of two children because of environmental concerns."

Excellent idea!

Or maybe one?

elitism + paternalism + aristocratic privilege/court society = leftard/socialist leader mentality

It’s what they are reaping for the hypocrisy of living high while trying to build a brand as eco conscious social justice warriors. If she was just willing to live like a royal and be unpretentiously wealthy while showing up for some public charity events. ... then meh.

One of the founders and owners of NetJets is Arnold Schwartenegger.

I have concluded that ALL Dems are hypocrites. The richer they are, the bigger the hypocrite.

Meghan probably uses a whole roll of toilet paper every trip to the little Duchess’s room

Thankfully Harry is not the eldest son.

I actually think it has to do more with them being rather liberal. Progressives love this couple. I am not convinced that William and Kate would get the same shoulder shrug from the media.

Massive carbon footprint for me but not for Thee. You Peasants need to make some real sacrifices in how you live.

Oh but not us celebrities. We’re far too important for that.
