I did not say nor have ever stated that Harry and Meghan are 'the most perfect couple in the world.'

What I pointed out in my posts was that other royals, notably Charles, have both lectured others and left a gigantic environmental footprint over the years. And Charles, (and Diana and Camilla with him,) though not at the same time, lol, has been lent gigantic yachts for holidays by British aristocrat friends, like the Rothschilds. Those yachts chew up oil like lollies.

Yes, Elton John lent the Sussexes a plane. To go to France from England, not around the world. What world trips have the Sussexes undertaken in the past five years?
And the late Duke of Westminster and his son the present Duke have lent members of the RF use of their planes on several private trips, including royals who lecture others, Earthshot anyone? Like going to ski trips to France and Switzerland with their children on private planes.

So it's not just Harry and Meghan who borrow planes. And many many wealthy people, both American, British and plenty of other nationalities, and who were political figures like Al Gore, used private planes and kept electric lights burning 24/7 at his homes, and then made a lecturing film on how we were all damaging Mother Earth.

So let's not pretend shall we that H+M are the only ones who are hypocrites!

Harry and Meghan are now private citizens. So are all these people, but Harry and Meghan are not here on this list.

Did you forget anyone on the list of who used a private plane? Yes they are private citizens now, so should be treated as such yet their behavior when in public shows just how much they regret leaving the royal family that they ran away from yet want back in...So Harry is now a full time resident of the US, maybe now he can be quiet and him and wife can stop telling lies and bad mouthing his family who by the way have 2 members with cancer, seems like he could care less like he did when Philip was dying he bad mouthed the family on TV no less and how he treated his grandmother was beyond disgusting.......yes Harry deeply loves the royal family that gave him millions......Oh Meghan's deep courtsey while sitting on her sofa was sooooooo beautiful wasn't it? Making fun of a 96 year old lady, just her character. All that is out there on the internet forever .........no spinning it ever! What I won't give to have my grandmothers back.....Yes I got off topic, sorry about that!

Harry hasn't said anything bad about the Royal Family for months. Nor has Meghan.As soon as he heard from Charles about his cancer Harry went to London to see him. He and Meghan also publicly sent a nice message to Kate wishing her all the best with her health woes. All that is also publicly out there. If you look. So I don't know what the rubbish is about either of them not caring less.

My feelings are that heads of state and top ranking government officials are justified in using private transportation for security reasons. In countries with a monarchy, I would include the sovereign's spouse, heir and spouse, and minor children. Although I do think it can be over-used. As much as I like the Wales, I'll admit I don't approve of taking private helicopters off to Amner Hall, unless maybe it was a rare thing.

But for purely private citizens to lecture others while not holding themselves to the same standards does smack of hypocrisy.

I hope that the additions to their team will stay on for a long time. There has been significant turnover at Archewell.

I don't get why they need a 'deputy' communications person? The way they organise themselves still seems like they're playing at being royal rather than the celebrities they are.

Additional confirmation this morning that Meghan will not be joining Harry for the Invictus Anniversary service at @StPaulsLondon in London. But the Duchess of Sussex will join the Duke for an Invictus-inspired visit to Nigeria immediately after Harry leaves the UK.

So a non-royal royal tour. I wonder how this is going to be received.

By whom? The Sussexes have been invited by the Nigerian Govt, they're not doing it off their own bat. And it's to do with Invictus anyway.

Technically they've been invited by the military.

And during the late Queen's jubilee, William and Kate received a lot of criticism during their visit to the Caribbean for appearing like white colonist to their brown subjects. Will Harry (white) and Meghan (let's be honest, white-passing ) receive any sort of the same criticism during their visit to Nigeria?
