Since Montecito’s ‘Megxit’ in 2020, the Sussexes have just acquired a controversial luxury SUV as it defies California’s recommendations in the war on emissions.
Another controversy in the Montecito sun. Exiled to California, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are now living the good life (at least they’re trying to) away from the English tabloids they hate the most. But despite their move to the other side of the Atlantic, their every move continues to be scrutinized by the tabloid press. With that, The Express is amused by the pair’s latest awkwardness. In particular, the purchase of a new Range Rover, which, in addition to being very expensive (£119,000 or approximately €135,000), is extremely polluting in the first place. Designed for their security agents, the CO2 emissions of this state-of-the-art SUV will indeed be 207g/km. That’s double the level recommended in California (95 g/km), the British daily reported.

In a media battle against Meghan and Harry, an English tabloid The Express was quick to reveal the information, just to highlight the hypocrisy of the Sussexes who say they are committed to protecting the planet. On the occasion of COP26, in November 2021, they specifically announced their desire to reach the goal of zero carbon by 2030. For this, they stated that they have “made choices to offset and balance their carbon footprint”. A few years ago, the couple came under fire for frequent private jet flights.
Pressure on the Environment”
Like Harry, the British royal family is firing on all cylinders in the environment. And this for several years. In an interview with the BBC in October 2021, Charles III, who was still only the Prince of Wales, insisted he understood “of course” Greta Thunberg’s criticism of political leaders. “All these young people feel like nothing ever happens, so of course they get frustrated,” he said at the time. Determined to reduce his carbon footprint, the then Duke of Cornwall said he did not eat meat or fish for two days a week and cut back on dairy. “If more people did it, it would reduce the pressure on the environment a lot,” he said.
More surprisingly, Charles said he drove an Aston Martin that he bought fifty-one years ago and modified to run “with English white wine and excess whey from the cheese-making process.” In addition, he warned that the car now runs on a fuel that consists of a mixture of 85% bioethanol and 15% unleaded gasoline.
