Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex, has confirmed that he flew on private trips four times in 11 days to keep his family safe, as he begins an environmentally friendly travel initiative. Prince Harry said he hoped his Eco-friendly Travelist initiative would improve the protection of tourist places and communities for generations to come.
Prince Harry has traveled to Amsterdam to promote a travel initiative that encourages people to make environmentally friendly travel choices. He said we could all do it. But his claim that his private jet travel to protect the safety of his family was met with scorn and ridicule by many tweeters. "Prince Harry says that when I fly by private jet, it's for the safety of my family," one of them said in a tweet. Well, let me borrow your private plane so that I can protect my family's safety. What a stupid word Prince Harry says! ”Another said in another tweet:“ Harry, your older brother, William, who is second in line to the throne, flew in with his family. "If there is a danger to his family to use private flights, what excuse are you?"
"99% of my travel around the world is through low-cost flights," Harry said in a session on his initiative for green aviation. But sometimes there is a need to change that, to ensure the safety of my family, and that's why I use private aviation. ”
The conversation came after Harry and his wife Megan were criticized last month after four private jet flights in 11 days across several European countries.He did not choose commercial flights, although he was talking about environment and environmentally friendly aviation.
