William's veiled dig at 'eco-warriors' Harry and Meghan? Prince of Wales insists he won't 'preach' about the environment and where people should go on holiday

Prince William emphasized that he does not wish to ‘preach’ about environmental issues, noting that individuals should not be restricted in their actions – a statement that appeared to be indirectly aimed at Harry and Meghan.

Speaking during an interview at Alexandra Palace in London to promote a forthcoming documentary on the endeavors of his Earthshot Prize, the Duke of Cambridge expressed his intention to proceed cautiously in dictating people’s actions, citing an abundance of such directives already existing.

This remark coincides with Harry and Meghan’s frequent vocalization on ecological concerns, with the couple receiving criticism last year for being labeled ‘eco-hypocrites’ after traveling by private jet to attend a Katy Perry concert.

In 2019, Meghan was flown home from New York City in a $43million private jet laid on by friends George and Amal Clooney. 

William was yesterday filmed drinking cider and playing darts as he answered a series of questions about his foundation, in which he talked about his approach to the environment. 

‘It’s about doing it in a slightly different way that doesn’t damage what we care about,’ he told Hannah Waddingham. 

‘[I want to] celebrate talent and solutions, rather than telling people ”don’t do this or don’t do that”. 

‘You’ve got to be so careful, because there’s been a lot of that.’ 

The Prince added: ‘I don’t want to preach, I want to find solutions.’

Harry and Meghan flew off to a Caribbean island on a private jet just days after attending a conference discussing the impact of climate change on mental health, it was reported in October last year. 

The couple used a Dassault Falcon 7X jet to fly from New Jersey to Canouan after attending the summit in New York on October 10, 2023, and again for the four hour hop between the exclusive retreat and Atlanta, Georgia.

They attended the conference organised by Project Healthy Minds, during which Zak Williams, the son of comedian and actor Robin Williams, told attendees that climate change was adversely effecting mental health, particularly in young people.

The couple have in the past been keen to highlight their green credentials. When interviewed by Oprah Winfrey, Harry identified climate change and mental health as the two ‘pressing issues’.

But the pair aren’t strangers to private jets either. In 2019 Harry and Meghan came under scrutiny for racking up four flights by private jet in the space of just 11 days, including one to Sir Elton John’s home in Nice.

William’s comments on the environment comes amid criticism around the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Polo series, with UK brand and culture expert saying it may be the ‘nail in the coffin’ for their £80million Netflix deal.

Harry, who served as an executive producer alongside Meghan, promised the programme – released globally this week – would showcase the ‘true depth and spirit of the sport’ as well as the ‘intensity of its high-stakes moments’.

However, the five-part docuseries, which centres around the build-up to the polo World Cup in Florida and mainly focuses on players such as Adolfo and Poroto Cambiaso, Timmy Dutta, and Nacho Figueras, struggled to impress critics.

It’s a reality that Ede considered threatening for the Sussex’s Netflix deal, telling MailOnline: ‘The new polo documentary hasn’t received good reviews, and this is another foray into producing from Meghan and Harry.

‘All eyes will be on whether the show rates and makes the very important top ten. It could, like the Invictus documentary, start well due to the public’s fascination with the pair and with polo potentially.

‘But it’s more than likely to fair badly when up against blockbusters like Black Dove and safe Lindsay Lohan Christmas films.

‘This could potentially be a nail in the coffin for their deal with the streaming giant who now use algorithms to make sure their programming is perfect for their subscribers.’
