‘Heir Miles’ Harry
Prince Harry de Halff-Whitt is deeply concerned about the deteriorating state of the environment, and he wants to see his concern addressed. We know this because he tells us so. Often.
This concern notwithstanding, ‘Heir Miles’ Harry seems very wedded to his jet-set lifestyle, with emphasis on the word ‘jet’. Now it transpires that he’s off again, this time on a gas-guzzling round trip to Japan, to watch the rugby world cup final.
Oh, no doubt some justification will be contrived by the palace; he’s a patron of the RFU, he’s representing Her Maj, or the country. I think however, that deep down, we can all recognise this for what it is. It’s a jaunt. He fancies going to the game instead of just watching it on the telly, and he’ll be flying first class I’m sure, unless his late mother’s ‘dear, dear friend’ Dame Elton Luvvy shells out for a private jet again.
Anyways, he’ll be stomping another big carbon footprint in the clouds in the process. Tell you what, then. Let the likes of you and I make the sacrifices and forgo our holidays to Spain. We can’t expect Harry to curtail his gadding about as if he was plain Joe Soap; after all, he is a Very Important Person. I’m sure that this line of thinking will suit him admirably. First rule in the book of the rich and powerful; ‘do as I say, not as I do’.
