It’s hardly the first time European royalty have displayed laughably elitist and clueless condescension. It’s not even the worst current scandal involving a British royal and a private jet. But the spectacle of a prince and a princess jetting around the globe in private jets (including a visit to Sir Elton John’s estate in Nice, France) while scolding the rest of us about carbon emissions is a telling one about the West’s elites and the climate change fight, and more beyond.
Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, living on inherited wealth, don’t have jobs in the same way most of us do. Instead, they are full-time do-gooders. The Duke of Sussex, as Harry is also known, recently spoke (barefoot!) at a green summit in Sicily. Like many of the guests, he arrived by private jet.
Yep, keep lecturing the rest of us.
