Piers Morgan Mocks Harry and Meghan’s CO2 Commitment, Questions Their Actions
In a recent Twitter post, Piers Morgan has openly mocked Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's commitment to reducing their carbon emissions.
This comes after the couple's well-publicized use of private transport, including jet planes.
Piers shared a news article with his 8 million followers, reporting on Meghan and Prince Harry's pledge for their charity brand Archul to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2030.
Responding to the news, Piers questioned whether the couple made this pledge while traveling on Sir Elton's jet or the Clooney one.
Currently residing in their $14 million mansion in California, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex shared a mission statement on their Archul Foundation website.
They stated that they would collaborate with an independent consultant to track all Archul-related activities from inception in order to understand their collective footprint.
In their post on Archul, Harry and Meghan mentioned that they have actively made choices to offset and balance their carbon footprint.
However, they acknowledged that almost every daily activity results in the release of carbon into the atmosphere.
They expressed their intention to assess their diet, commute, and energy consumption to reduce their footprint.
Referring to the COP26 conference, where world leaders and senior members of the firm have gathered, the couple emphasized their commitment to a more sustainable future.
They shared their goal of becoming net zero by 2030, providing a link to netsroclimate.org, which offers guidance on achieving net zero.
Net zero refers to a state in which greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere are balanced by removal out of the atmosphere, effectively halting global warming.
Interestingly, the couple's statement was released shortly after Queen Elizabeth II failed to mention her grandson Harry at the COP26 conference.
Royal watchers deemed this omission significant, as Harry and Meghan have been vocal advocates for environmental issues.
However, Prince Harry's travel venture, which collaborates with Skyscanner, TripAdvisor, and Booking.com, has been criticized as an example of the couple's contradictory actions.
Piers Morgan further claimed that Meghan Markle exploited Prince Harry's royal status for financial gain in a Twitter rant.
This was in response to the announcement that Meghan will speak on women reaching economic and professional parity at a New York Times online summit.
The former actress will participate in a panel discussion on solutions for women to achieve economic and professional equality.
Piers shared an article highlighting Meghan's latest move, where she purchased Starbucks Coffee for employees campaigning for paid family and medical leave in the US.
Expressing his opinion to his 7.9 million followers, Piers criticized Meghan for supposedly promoting economic and professional parity while benefitting from marrying a wealthy British prince and exploiting his royal status.
However, he did not provide any specific examples to support his claim.
It is worth noting that Meghan, known for her philanthropy and humanitarian work, had a successful acting career before marrying Prince Harry.
In conclusion, Piers Morgan's recent social media posts have sparked controversy by questioning the actions and commitments of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
While the couple aims to reduce their carbon emissions and advocate for women's equality, critics argue that their personal choices and business ventures contradict their stated goals.
The ongoing debate surrounding their public image and perceived exploitation of royal status continues to generate discussion and differing opinions.
