Prince Harry arrived in Canada via a private jet for the Invictus Games countdown, despite his past comments on climate change.
The event, founded by Harry in 2014, is designed to inspire military veterans.
This action sparked criticism due to his previous use of private jets, with Harry defending his choices as necessary for his family’s safety.

“Occasionally, there needs to be an opportunity based on a unique circumstance to ensure my family are safe and it’s genuinely as simple as that. But as I said in my speech, for me, it’s about balance,” Prince Harry said previously.
He acknowledged the need to do better in the future and expressed support for climate activism.
“While no one is perfect, we are all responsible for our individual impact. The question is what we do to balance it out,” he said.
“There is a ticking clock to protect our planet,” Prince Harry and Markle wrote online. “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.”
Harry and Meghan Markle have pledged to address climate change, with their organization aiming for net-zero emissions by 2030.
“As global leaders convene for COP26 to commit to solutions for our climate crisis, all of us at Archewell, led by The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, share our pledge towards a more sustainable future by becoming net zero by 2030,” Archewell stated in 2021.
