After criticism, he says he travels "99% of the time on commercial flights"
Harry and Meghan choose Ibiza on their first family vacation
Prince Harry has taken advantage of an event to boost ecological tourism to justify the controversial private jet trips he has made this summer with Meghan Markle and his son, Archie. The Duke of Sussex has moved to Amsterdam to support the launch of the Travalyst initiative , in which several travel-related companies participate, and there he has justified himself by ensuring that he travels "99% of the time on commercial flights."
Harry has thus referred to the criticisms that have raised his summer trips aboard private jets and insisted that he used this elitist and polluting means of transportation four times over 11 days to preserve the safety of his family . "We can all do better. As nobody is perfect , we are all responsible for the environmental impact we produce individually. The question is what to do to balance everything," he added during his speech.
The safety of his wife and son has been the argument used by the Duke of Sussex for not having used regular flights during the trips they have made this summer to Ibiza, Nice and Sicily. "It's all about balance. If I have to do it [use a jet] I will, but making sure, as I have always done and will continue to do, to balance my carbon footprint, " he insisted.
The Dukes of Sussex have had to face an avalanche of criticism on social networks for those trips. Many netizens have branded the prince "hypocritical" since his eco-frinedly speech clashes frontally with such trips. 'Prince Harry: when I fly by private plane, it's to keep my family safe. Well, lend me your jet so I can keep MY family safe, what a silly comment, "a tweeter wrote.
'Prince Harry says he only flies by private jet to protect his family, it is garbage. Prince William, who will actually be KING someday, doesn't even do that! It's just an excuse to travel with luxury! # Hypocrites, "commented another.
