Climate crusaders Prince Harry and (not a princess because the Brits hate America) Meghan Markle got called out yesterday by the Daily Mail for their recent use of private jets that are killing the planet:

New pictures show Meghan Markle and Prince Harry taking their FOURTH gas-guzzling flight in just 11 days https://t.co/sTciwbqZzZ pic.twitter.com/FHQmNAjAlp — Daily Mail U.K. (@DailyMailUK) August 19, 2019

Do as we say not as we do:

These stories get a little repetitive. The "Greta effect" does not reasonate among the globalist, jet-setting crowd. https://t.co/goyyhrVK2u — Ryan (@RyanMaue) August 19, 2019

Some even called the coverage racist:

Another bad news day for Megan and Harry. What have they done apart from fall in love, get married and have a baby. Before the wedding Harry was adored and was seen as the best thing since sliced bread. Why all this sniping at them now? It couldn’t be racism at play, could it? — Rory Cowan (@1rorycowan) August 19, 2019

These guys can't hide their racism a little bit? https://t.co/fAqtUuoGOC — Edward Israel-Ayide (@wildeyeq) August 20, 2019

I didn't even know private jet use was a bad thing until Meghan married Harry. The British media racism is on a deeper level. — Written By (@DamiElebe) August 20, 2019

Sorry, but it’s not “racist” to point out their complete and total hypocrisy on the climate.

Elton John, who was hosting the couple on one of the four trips, defended the use of his jet:

I am deeply distressed by today’s distorted and malicious account in the press surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s private stay at my home in Nice last week. pic.twitter.com/WjVRDSMX0z — Elton John (@eltonofficial) August 19, 2019

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. — Elton John (@eltonofficial) August 19, 2019

And, you see, the wealthy singer bought some carbon credits or something to offset the trip:

To support Prince Harry’s commitment to the environment, we ensured their flight was carbon neutral, by making the appropriate contribution to Carbon Footprint™. — Elton John (@eltonofficial) August 19, 2019

I highly respect and applaud both Harry and Meghan’s commitment to charity and 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. Elton — Elton John (@eltonofficial) August 19, 2019

Singer Pink jumped in as well and called the coverage “bullying”:

I’m happy to see people coming to the defense of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The way people treat her is the most public form of bullying I have seen in a while. It’s out of control. Let’s all be a bit kinder, huh? Let’s show our children that it’s cool to be kind. — P!nk (@Pink) August 20, 2019

Guys, all they were trying to do was “make the world better.” At Elton John’s house:

Portia and I met Prince Harry and Meghan in England to talk about their work on wildlife conservation. They were the most down-to-earth, compassionate people. Imagine being attacked for everything you do, when all you’re trying to do is make the world better. pic.twitter.com/226pRO1fj1 — Ellen DeGeneres (@TheEllenShow) August 19, 2019

Hypocrites.
