Prince Harry says 'I spend 99% of my life flying commercial' after private jets row | ITV News

The Duke of Sussex has spoken about his impact on the environment after the furore around his use of private jets, saying he spends 99% of his life flying commercially.

Speaking at the launch of an ambitious global project to encourage the tourism industry to become more sustainable, Harry said what is important is to “balance” out negative effects.

Harry and wife Meghan have faced mounting criticism after reportedly taking four private jet journeys in 11 days during the summer, which is at odds with their views on supporting the environment.

The duke flew to the Netherlands on a commercial plane for the launch event in Amsterdam but faced a question on his past use of private jets.
