Prince Harry Slammed for Private Jet Use

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their children and , were spotted arriving in Scotland on a commercial flight on August 22nd.

In contrast, was seen waiting on his staff to bring his bags while sitting on a private plane.

The 37-year-old prince arrived for a one-day polo match, and the aircraft sat idling on the tarmac for at least 30 minutes as it waited for his staff to drop off his polo kit in a gas-guzzling SUV.

This is the same Harry who constantly whines about the environment and preaches about making a difference and the need for urgent intervention to halt climate change.

Despite his views on the climate crisis hitting the world, he took a private jet to set off for a one-day only polo match.

Harry arrived at the airport close to his 14 million Montecito home in an electric Audi SUV.

The two men were then seen ferrying Harry's green kit bag and mallets to the plane in a golf cart before placing them in the cargo hold.

However, one royal fan doesn't think Harry forgot his polo gear.

She said that Harry didn't forget his polo gear and that he had been in Africa since his rushed, unannounced, unexpected, aimless trip.

She believes that he went there to get away from Meghan.

He then came back from Africa and stayed in a hotel.

Nacho, his friend, invited him to the polo match, another unexpected, unannounced event for Harry to be involved with.

So Harry took what luggage he had from Africa and booked the private jet for Aspen since he didn't go back to Montecito.

He had the bodyguards get his polo stuff for him.

The private jet is owned by Florida-based businessman Mark Gansey, who's a longtime friend of Harry's and a polo enthusiast.

The couple have been slammed on multiple occasions for being hypocrites for their use of private jets, despite preaching about making a difference and the need for urgent intervention to halt climate change.

Harry and Meghan were hit with a huge backlash in June after they flew back to the UK for the first time since stepping down as senior royals for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations aboard a private jet.

Harry's hour and a half trip to Aspen would have emitted more than six tons of carbon dioxide for the one-way trip, and just over 12 tons if he takes the jet on his return flight.

The prince has previously defended his use of private jets and insisted that 99% of his air travel is via commercial flights.

He claimed he tried to balance out the effects of private flights by offsetting his CO2 emissions in 2019.

Harry took a different jet owned by a US businessman to the St. Bali ISPS Handapolo Cup last year, boarding the $53 million Gulfstream jet to return home to Meghan and their two children.

Despite his efforts to offset the effects of private flights, Harry's use of private jets has been criticized by many.

He has been called out for his hypocrisy, given his views on climate change and the urgent need to halt it.

This incident has further fueled criticism against him and his wife, and it remains to be seen how they will respond to this backlash.

In conclusion, 's use of private jets has once again come under scrutiny, and he has been criticized for his hypocrisy.

Despite his efforts to offset the effects of private flights, his actions have been seen as contradictory to his views on climate change.
