Prince Harry is facing fresh criticism for claiming ‘99 per cent’ of the flights he takes are with commercial airlines after new analysis suggested six out of ten times he travels by private jet.
The Duke of Sussex has been accused of hypocrisy for using charter flights six times this summer while urging the public to cut their carbon footprint.
He took a scheduled flight to Amsterdam this week to promote Travalyst, a scheme that promotes environmentally-friendly tourism.
Speaking at the event, the prince refused to apologise for his recent private flights to Italy, France and Spain, saying: ‘I spend 99 per cent of my life travelling the world by commercial.
‘Occasionally there needs to be an opportunity [to fly privately] based on a unique circumstance to ensure that my family are safe – it’s as simple as that. For me it’s about balance. It’s not a decision I would want to take, but if I have to do that, I will ensure that I balance out the impact that I have.’

Maybe he is just a bit poor at math... 4/10 doesn’t equal 99%? Blimey...
What the heck is that... when you sail over the Atlantic, then fly back; and fly in sailors to sail the boat back on the return trip?

We must reduce our carbon footprints so Prince Harry can still (occasionally) use his private jet
Come on plebs. Start doing your bit and stop being so disgustingly selfish

So “Prince Harry” can zip around the world on private jets, but we peasants mustn’t fly to save the planet? Hypocrisy much?

“#Travalyst won’t encourage people to travel less, but it will help tourists make environmentally friendly decisions, such as providing tips for offsetting carbon emissions and supporting local communities at tourist destinations.“
It’s not hypocrisy when he is simply acknowledging that some people are better (him) and some are not (you - the great unwashed).
It’s good to be the almost king.
I read The Duchess of Excess just hired Harvey Weinstein’s former PR people. What could go wrong?
Just like Edward the VIII, this extra and his brassy American wife are looking for a new gig, preferably outside the UK
Yes, Sunshine Sachs. I read where they hire trolls to combat negative things about their client
Prince Woke and the Hollywood hag are going to make Charles and Camilla look by comparison.
A darling of the left, this will blow over just like Ralph Northam, Slow Joe Biden, and Hillary Clinton.
btw, brits aren’t paying for the PR
The foundation is paying for it because supposedly their job is to promote the foundation in the US. Meanwhile, they are desperately trying to deal with the negative press.
The friend of Charles who posts here says that Prince Harry has duties. So he can vacation and have a second home but he is paid to carry out certain duties.
Also something about he will have to do certain things until Charlotte is 21.
Both of them can speak for 5 minutes without saying ANYTHING!
Royals were never good at math......Harry has effectively ended his life by pairing with that narcissist.....he will rue the day.....
It seems to me like he has inherited his father's brains - just a few fries short of a Happy Meal. Or maybe the whole bag.
Prince Harry resembles another royal loser. Hank the 8th. The original founder of his Queen for a Day routine, until that new queen lost her head.
