Harry since he stepped down as a working Royal, along with Meghan has portrayed himself as an eco-warrior, while speaking to Oprah, Harry said growing up for kids in today's world it’s pretty depressing, depending upon where they live either their country is on fire, or underwater and how the forests are being flattened.
Quote by Tom Quinn, the royal author “This appears to be enormously hypocritical, given all his talk about climate change”. He adds “Harry seems to see himself as someone who guides the rest of the world and that his own behavior isn’t relevant. It is a huge blind spot.”
