Sussexes: Barefoot speeches for Google
THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex have spoken out to urge more action to protect the planet. In June 2019, the couple told their nearly 10million Instagram followers: ‘With nearly 7.7 billion people inhabiting this Earth, every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference.’
A month later, Prince Harry, 37, travelled to the island of Sicily via private jet to make a barefoot speech at a Google summit on climate change. In May last year, he said: ‘We need to do better about stopping or allowing the things that are causing so much harm.’ Yet just last week, the couple hopped on a Bombardier Global 6000 – one of the most polluting types of private jet – back to California after a three-day stay in the UK for the Platinum Jubilee. In the past year, they’ve taken at least six private jet flights.
