Duchess of Cambridge and Kids Arrive in Scotland on Commercial Flight, While Prince Harry Takes Private Jet for Polo Match

The Duchess of Cambridge, along with her children Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, were recently spotted arriving in Scotland on a commercial flight.

The young royals, aged seven and four respectively, impressed everyone as they carried their own bags without any fuss.

In stark contrast, Prince Harry, a 37-year-old man who is known to be camera-shy, was seen sitting on a private plane, waiting for his staff to bring his bags.

Harry's arrival for a one-day polo match involved a private jet, which sat idling on the tarmac for at least 30 minutes while his staff arrived in a gas-guzzling SUV to drop off his polo kit.

This raised eyebrows, especially considering Harry's constant emphasis on the environment, his calls for making a difference, and urgent intervention to combat climate change.

It seems contradictory that he would opt for a private jet for such a short trip.

Interestingly, Harry, who frequently shares his views on the climate crisis, arrived at the airport near his Montecito home in an electric Audi SUV.

However, his green kit bag and mallets were transported to the plane in a golf cart by two men before being placed in the cargo hold.

Despite this, one royal fan believes that Harry did not forget his polo gear.

She speculates that his sudden trip to Africa and subsequent stay in a hotel might be related to personal matters rather than a genuine need for the polo match.

According to her, there seems to be some trouble in paradise, possibly indicating the beginning of the end for Harry and Meghan.

The private jet used by Harry is owned by Mark Gansey, a polo enthusiast and longtime friend of the prince based in Florida.

This is not the first time Harry and Meghan have faced criticism for their use of private jets, despite advocating for climate change action.

In June, they faced backlash when they flew back to the UK aboard a private jet for the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

Harry's recent trip to Aspen, which lasted approximately an hour and a half, emitted more than six tons of carbon dioxide for the one-way journey.

If he opts for the private jet on his return flight as well, it would result in over 12 tons of carbon emissions.

Although Harry has defended his use of private jets in the past, claiming that 99% of his air travel is via commercial flights, this latest incident has reignited the debate surrounding his environmental stance.

It is worth noting that in 2019, Harry attempted to offset his CO2 emissions from private flights.

However, his decision to take a different jet owned by a US businessman to the St. Bali ISPS Handa Polo Cup last year raised eyebrows once again.

The prince boarded a Gulfstream jet worth $53 million to return home to Meghan and their two children.

As the public continues to scrutinize Harry and Meghan's travel choices, it remains to be seen how their interactions unfold during their upcoming trip to the UK.

The couple's repeated use of private jets contradicts their message of environmental responsibility, leading many to question their commitment to combating climate change.
