Elton John and Ellen DeGeneres hit out at critics on social media
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s famous friends have rallied around them in a very public show of support in the past 24 hours following media reports of excessive carbon output on flights in the past week.
Across the weekend it was reported that Harry, Meghan and baby Archie took a private jet to Nice last week to celebrate Meghan’s 38th birthday. It was also suggested that the pair took another private jet to and from Ibiza in the same 11-day period. As a result, many media outlets in the UK and beyond jumped to attack the eco-conscious couple for their “hypocrisy” around carbon neutrality.
Furthermore, as a close friend of the late Princess Diana, he berated the media for their relentless pursuit of the pair, writing, “Prince Harry’s mother, Diana Princess Of Wales was one of my dearest friends. I feel a profound sense of obligation to protect Harry and his family from the unnecessary press intrusion that contributed to Diana’s untimely death.
After a hectic year continuing their hard work and dedication to charity, David and I wanted the young family to have a private holiday inside the safety and tranquility of our home. To maintain a high level of much-needed protection, we provided them with a private jet flight. I’m calling on the press to cease these relentless and untrue assassinations on their character that are spuriously crafted on an almost daily basis.
