Could Prince Harry and Meghan Markle be all bark and no bite when it comes to the environment?

The couple are believed to have taken four private jet journeys in 11 days. At the same time they say they want to protect the environment, with Harry saying “every choice, every footprint, every action makes a difference”. They’ve even decided to have just two children “for environmental reasons”.

The media slated them for their excessive flying and celebrity supporters jumped to the couple’s defence.
