Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Arrive in Canada on Private Jet, Igniting Backlash: Photo & Details

Despite their vocal advocacy for climate change and environmental preservation, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s choice of transportation from California to Vancouver seemingly contradicted their public stance on the issue.

The flight, originating from Santa Barbara, took two hours before landing in Vancouver, where the aircraft stayed for 39 minutes before leaving for Victoria.

“Not environmentalists at all,” one comment read. “No more about this pair. A disgrace,” another added. “How many climate change speeches has he made?” echoed another.

Critics from Twitter also pointed out the inconsistency in their actions, with one user highlighting, “Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s private jet flight contradicts their climate advocacy, emitting 4 tonnes of CO2.”

Another tweet read, “The eco-warriors Harry and Meghan, who have no State functions or ambassadorial duties to carry out like the Royal Family, arrive at one of the world’s most expensive ski resorts in a private jet to advocate philanthropy and charity.”

Amidst the environmental controversy, some social media users shifted the focus to Harry and Meghan’s role as parents, questioning the whereabouts of their children during the trip. “I thought they were ‘parents’… rarely see them with their ‘kids,’” one Facebook user noted.“I feel sorry for their children,” another agreed.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s visit to Canada came following the backlash they faced over the launch of their new website, where they continued to use their official royal titles.

Despite the controversies surrounding their arrival and environmental stance, Harry and Meghan’s visit to Canada for the Invictus Games event underscores their dedication to their philanthropic efforts and the causes close to their hearts.

The Duke of Sussex recently made a surprising appearance in Sin City at an NFL award ceremony. He took the stage to present Cameron Heyward with the 2023 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

Adorned in a classy suit, Prince Harry began his presentation by humorously noting how the U.S. transformed the English sport of rugby into football. He then spoke about the NFL’s impact on many people worldwide and did not mention King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis during his speech.

When the public saw Prince Harry at the prestigious ceremony, many had mixed reactions. Some thought the Prince attending an event so soon after visiting his dad amid his health ailment was inappropriate.

In this regard, one person said, “Oh that’s why he left Britain so fast, he had more important things to do than to stay with his sick father. He is a disgrace to the RF and Britain!” Similarly, another commented, “So selfish.” “What an embarrassment 🤦🏽‍♀️😂,” added another social media user.

However, there were other people who complimented him. One fan wrote, “I love him […] He’s an honest man who takes up for his family. Even though they’re all having problems [it] doesn’t mean he doesn’t love them.” Another praised, “The people’s Prince!”

Someone else gushed, “This is so amazing. I’m so happy Prince Harry is so loved in the U.S. and has found a home.” Another fan swooned, “Congrats to all, and [it’s] amazing that Prince Harry, the living legend, presented this award!”

When Prince Harry recently went to London to see King Charles III after his cancer diagnosis was revealed, he stayed in a lavish hotel. The King of England’s former butler, Grant Harrold, said that Prince Harry did so as a way to show his family that he could financially support himself without their help.

A media outlet revealed that Grant and King Charles III had a working relationship spanning seven years. At the time, the King of England was still the Prince of Wales.

As reported by Grant, Prince Harry opted for the hotel because he wanted to prove that he was “grown up enough to fund himself.” The King’s former butler then went on to state, “It’s strange he’s not staying at any royal residences because obviously, when they were growing up, they had rooms at Clarence House and at Highgrove.”

On this and the status of Prince Harry’s familial relationships, Grant explained, “Obviously, it’s not the best sign if he’s staying at a hotel, because you’d have thought he’d possibly stay with his brother [Prince William] and sister-in-law [Kate Middleton] potentially, or at one of his father’s homes.”

He went on to note, “If there is an ongoing fallout between him and his brother, it’s possible that he may not have been given the offer to stay.”

Regarding Prince Harry’s visit, a media outlet reported that King Charles III was allegedly unpleased as his travel plans were delayed in waiting for his son’s arrival. Apparently, the King had plans to travel to Norfolk for tranquility.

Although many speculations have surfaced concerning why Prince Harry’s visit with the King was so brief, a British expert named Richard Fitzwilliams set the record straight. He mentioned that because King Charles III has started treatment, he may have just been tired, prompting the brevity of the meeting.

As previously reported on February 8:

The Duchess of Sussex has been spotted out and about for the first time since her husband caught a flight to London to visit King Charles III amid his cancer diagnosis. Pictures showed Meghan Markle flashing a smile as she drove around Montecito.

Many people had a lot of strong opinions concerning Meghan’s recent outing. One person asked and asserted, “Why does she do this when Harry is away?” Another expressed, “So predictable. Beyond pathetic.”

Someone else remarked, “Smiling like a Cheshire Cat to hide the fact KC had barely 30 mins for Harry. If you believe some reports, it was more like 12 mins […] that’s pretty embarrassing. Actions have consequences!”

A social media user pondered, “She’s happy Charles is ill?” Another asserted, “How embarrassing M, now we know why Harry went! PR stunt!” Someone else stated, “Exclusive woman smiles [knowing] her husband is safely coming back to her loving arms after being in a country where the media, reporters and self-appointed experts are being violent and vicious in speech and thoughts.”

Yesterday, a news outlet reported that Prince Harry was already en route back home from London. The Duke of Sussex had spent 24 hours in his homeland. He landed in London after 2 p.m. this past Tuesday, then went to see his father—as reported by a news source—for 45 minutes.

As previously reported on February 7:

While there has been tension between Prince Harry and his family since he moved to the US and left his post as a working senior royal, he still rushed home to be with his father amidst the King’s cancer diagnosis. Meanwhile, his wife stayed in California with their kids.

According to the King’s former butler, Meghan Markle’s choice resulted from her thinking that being by the King’s side was “something [Prince Harry] has to do alone.”

Meghan may still visit her father-in-law in the near future, royal experts believe. However, at the moment, she will be focusing on caring for her two children in California.

“I’m sure at some point they will bring the grandchildren over; that might be part of what’s being discussed — an opportunity for them to come over as a family,” Harrold added.

The King also helped choose the song Meghan walked down the aisle to. Sadly, in years after, Meghan’s relationship with the royal family did not flourish.

King Charles III’s illness is undoubtedly a tragedy for the royal family. However, it may also be the very reason their family reunites again, following Harry’s decision to step back from senior royal duties and move to a different country.

As previously reported on February 6:

Prince Harry is returning to England to support his father, King Charles III, after the monarch’s recent cancer diagnosis. The Duke of Sussex, aged 39, is scheduled to arrive in London on Monday, according to a confirmation from the office of The Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Royal staffers have kept Prince Harry updated on the 75-year-old King’s health status, including the specifics of a recent prostate procedure. Prince Harry has previously shared his complex feelings surrounding family and duty. The King once asked his sons not to make the last years of his life “a misery” with the rift between them.

Harry has also divulged emotional moments with his brother, Prince William, and his late mother, Princess Diana, drawing poignant connections between his experiences and the responsibilities of his royal lineage.

Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles, following a recent health procedure, is now facing a new health challenge. Here are the details.

During the procedure for benign prostate enlargement, doctors discovered a separate issue of concern. Subsequent tests have confirmed a form of cancer, according to a palace statement.

His Majesty has begun a regular treatment schedule and has been advised to postpone public-facing duties. He will, however, continue to handle State business and official paperwork as usual.

The King expressed his gratitude towards his medical team for their prompt intervention, made possible by his recent hospital visit. He remains optimistic about his treatment and aims to return to full public duties soon.

Charles has chosen to publicize his diagnosis to prevent speculation and hopes it will help increase public understanding of cancer. He is determined to assist others worldwide affected by the disease.

Voices from around the world are reaching out, with one user stating, “My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.” This sentiment reflects the global community’s solidarity with the British royal family during this time.

The King spent three nights at the clinic, where he received care after undergoing prostate surgery. Footage showed the happy couple, dressed smartly, smiling at the cameras as His Majesty The King waved to the public before getting into their car.

Before King Charles III exited the hospital, Queen Camilla visited him a few times while he was still there. People who saw the video of the King leaving the hospital reacted differently. One person expressed, “He looks very thin.”

King Charles III’s hospital release comes just after it was announced that the Princess of Wales also left The London Clinic and returned home, where she continues to recover from her abdominal surgery.

As we continue to follow this unfolding story, a look back at our previous article provides further insights into the Queen’s unwavering support for her husband, the King, as previously reported on January 29:

Following his corrective surgery, King Charles III has been recovering at the same hospital where the Princess of Wales, Princess Catherine, is. During her first visit, a smiling Queen Camilla adorned a coat-like navy dress as she left the hospital and entered her car.

One person felt strongly about Queen Camilla’s visits being her obligation as opposed to something she did because of her devoted love for the King. They expressed, “These shouldn’t be the news headline because it was her duty as his wife to visit the husband.” Another asserted, “Camilla should say very short words concerning her husband. Bizarre.” Someone else noted, “Her eyes aren’t smiling.”

Another wrote, “Well, I noticed she had a smile on her face. I hope all is well. Hope the King gets discharged soon.” Someone else stated, “He has always been the love of her life and vice versa.”

Before her recent trips to the hospital, Queen Camilla gave a quick update on how her beloved husband has been doing since his operation. In a TikTok video, she divulged, “He’s fine, thank you very much. He’s looking forward to getting back to work.”

As previously reported on January 26:

King Charles III and Princess of Wales Kate Middleton are facing health issues, leading to the postponement of their royal engagements. Kate underwent a planned abdominal surgery and will be in a London hospital for two weeks from January 16, 2024.

The King was photographed ahead of his planned operation on his way from Clarence House to a London clinic. He went into the same clinic where Kate underwent surgery and even passed by to visit his daughter-in-law. After he was admitted, a spokesperson for Buckingham Palace said the King thanked all who sent him good wishes.

The public has sent love and prayers to the Princess and the King as they start their respective recovery journeys. “❤️‍🙏 to both,” one person wrote. The public also wished the two a “speedy recovery.” “Wishing King Charles and Princess Catherine a speedy recovery. God Save The King and Catherine of Wales,” another person said.

The Princess and His Majesty’s health updates were given to avoid speculation if they both fail to attend upcoming events or if some occasions are canceled. A spokesperson for King Charles III also announced the postponement of his public engagements during his recovery.

Several events on the royal family’s agenda, including visits by foreign dignitaries and members of Prime Minister Rishi Sunak’s Cabinet to Dumfries House in Scotland, have already been rescheduled.

The Princess of Wales and the King are expected to recover fully and resume their public engagements. Still, as they recuperate, they can count on the public’s well-wishes for a speedy recovery.
