Royal fans were quick to point out the irony behind Meghan and Harry’s latest Instagram post begging their followers to ‘save the planet’.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex took to social media this week to ask everyone to consider their carbon footprint. However, the timing was somewhat off as just days before new figures showed that the Royal Household’s emissions doubled last year. Many of their followers are now telling them to practice what they preach.
Meghan also flew a private jet to and from New York for her lavish baby shower earlier this year.
The post reads as follows : ‘As a continuation of our monthly social awareness approach to shine a light on the accounts that are working towards positive change, for the month of July we turn our attention to the environment. ‘There is a ticking clock to protect our planet – with climate change, the deterioration of our natural resources, endangerment of sacred wildlife, the impact of plastics and microplastics, and fossil fuel emissions, we are jeopardizing this beautiful place we call home – for ourselves and for future generations. Let’s save it. Let’s do our part.’
