He is out of his depth poor man

I'm sure its to make him feel as if he is a force in the world.

So when it all gets boiled down, he will make grandiose statements, and never even think he (and his family) will ever be called upon to actually back them up in real life.

I mean, cant he lecture on TED talks on the internet, and cut out some of the flights?
If he really must be seen at certain functions, he should be factoring that into his life, and reduce his and her private trips and holiday's to balance out.

Surely that's should be the aim of anyone interested in 'saving' the planet?

Its not so much which service he uses, (although anything that saves the country money is a good thing).
But that he flies at all that is the problem.

If he really wants to do some good he should lead by example. That goes for his wife too.

Trying to justify HIS use doesn't work.

Seems he has to keep his family safe so used private jets, the fact his family were not with him when he flew by private jet
for his barefoot lecture is forgotten,

I think the answer to your question is, no he doesn't care. He justifies his hypocrisy by saying that he flies in private planes because he wants to keep his family safe. As opposed to the rest of us mere mortals who clearly don't give a toss about the safety of our families.

Harry's better when he keeps his mouth shut. Which isn't often enough lately.

Just that, really.

He knew this project launch was coming up. It's been in his diary for months so why fly in private jets knowing accusations of hypocrisy would surely follow.

Does he really care?
