Prince Harry and Meghan LIVE: Duke savaged for ''private jet use' following eco-rant

Prince Harry talks about the travel industry

Prince Harry made a surprise appearance for Travelyst, an initiative he launched to make travel more sustainable, but royal experts have pointed to a problem with his speech.

During the online appearance, Prince Harry said: "Travel and tourism rely on destinations, held together by communities, without which we have nowhere to travel to. Communities are the beating heart of travel, and we must do better by the people who are the custodians of the places we visit."

However, several royal experts, speaking on the Mail's Palace Confidential, have laid into the Duke for his use of private jets which have a much higher carbon footprint per person than commercial flights.

Expert Richard Eden savaged his appearance, saying: "This is the organisation that is always controversial - Harry, on the one hand, loves flying private jets whether it's to a pop concert in Las Vegas or it's to a holiday in the Caribbean but then he's a boss at this firm that encourages other people to be very eco-conscious."

Royal Editor Rebecca English commented: "I remember covering the launch of Travelyst - it's a good idea it's basically saying 'let's get all together all the interested parties in the travel industry and try to make travel a bit more environmentally friendly' so I get that point."

However, English claimed that "90 percent" of Prince Harry's flights at the time of the launch were "private flights".

Meghan Markle won't film new cooking show at £11m mansion she shares with Prince Harry

Meghan Markle has begun filming for her new Netflix cooking show on Tuesday, and while fans were keen to get a look into her home with Prince Harry, this appears to not be the case.

According to Daily Mail Diary Editor Richard Eden’s sources, Netflix has rented a property in which to shoot the new series.

Despite giving viewers a window into their Montecito mansion during their 2022 docu-drama, Harry and Meghan’s home will not be on display during Meghan’s cooking show.

Prince Harry has 'burnt bridges' with US residency bombshell, says royal photographer

Prince Harry has "burnt his bridges" after officially changing his place of residence, a royal expert claimed.

Sun royal photographer Arthur Edwards claimed the change was “inevitable” considering Prince Harry’s long feud with Prince William.

He said: “They've left a wake of nasty stories about the Royal Family, if he only realised he was part of it for many years," Edwards said.

"Him and William were so close, they did everything together, they supported each other through everything. That rift now doesn't seem possible to be healed and that's very sad.
