In a furious tirade, Bill Guthy has demanded the return of his jets due to Meghan Markle's extensive travel, which has resulted in significant emissions. Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are facing criticism and calls to practice what they preach regarding their environmental beliefs after taking multiple international flights in a short span of time.
Over the past month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have seemingly embarked on a total of seven flights, despite frequently advocating for climate change awareness. The flurry of flights began when Harry flew from Los Angeles to Heathrow on September 7th to attend the World Child Awards in London. He then traveled to Germany the following day for the opening ceremony of the 2023 Invictus Games. Shortly thereafter, Meghan followed suit by flying to London on September 11th before connecting to Germany on September 12th.
Reports have now surfaced that the couple also enjoyed a brief trip to Portugal, departing on September 17th after the conclusion of the games in Dusseldorf. They then flew to London's Heathrow on September 20th before concluding their travel spree with the seventh and final flight back to Los Angeles.
These consecutive flights within such a condensed timeframe have raised eyebrows, especially in light of Prince Harry's previous statements on environmental issues and his love for nature in a 2019 special edition of Vogue magazine. Commenting on their recent jet-setting, Richard Fitzwilliams, a long-standing royal commentator, pointed out that their actions appear inconsistent with their environmental credentials. He emphasized the importance of practicing what they preach.
Megan and Harry's actions have sparked controversy and condemnation on various discussion forums. Some business figures in the Montecito area faced criticism for lending their private jet to the couple without considering the environmental consequences. Notably, they borrowed a private jet from Bill Guthy, the husband of Victoria Jackson, for their inaugural post-royal tour to New York City, where Meghan made headlines with her extensive wardrobe and meetings with Bill de Blasio and New York's Governor.
Prior to their extended trip, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made multiple visits to a luxury ranch owned by a controversial marketing company founder. They even brought Meghan's mother along for some of these visits. It has been revealed that the Duchess of Sussex flew on a private jet owned by Bill Guthy's company during this time. Despite the shared acquaintance between the Sussexes and Guthy, there has been no public statement about their relationship.
Newly obtained photographs reveal that Harry and Meghan had been frequenting Guthy's Santa Barbara estate, possibly even using it as a location for their high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey. One such photograph from March shows Harry driving a black Range Rover with Meghan in the passenger seat and her mother, Doria Ragland, in the back.
The situation appears to have strained the relationship between the two couples, with Bill Guthy reportedly becoming quite upset over the negative media attention directed at him after he had initially generously lent the royal couple his private jet."
