Prince Harry urged to get a different advisor: ‘Has no idea how daft he looks'

Prince Harry has been accused of not understanding where ‘hypocrisy’ comes in his own actions.

Accusations against the ‘daft’ Duke have been shared by The Telegraph’s columnist and assistant editor, Michael Deacon.

He issued the whole thing in a piece for the same outlet and it revolved around the greener travel summit Prince Harry just attended in Shanghai.

The speech revolved around championing ‘saving the planet’ despite it having been done by flying 6,500 miles in an airplane to do so.

“before dear Harry set off on the journey in question, did he not see such a headline coming?” he began the conversation by wondering.

“Did he not pause, just for a moment” and wonder whether his speech about ‘saving the planet’ was going to turn him into a “comical hypocrite” in the eyes of many, Mr Deacon wondered.

The conversation only got more candid from this point on and saw the commentator add, “i’m sure he means well. But in the grand scheme of things it sounds pretty futile.”

Because “I mean, if you truly believed that air travel was destroying the planet, surely you’d just stop doing it. And in no circumstances would you use a private jet, as certain prominent semi-royals have occasionally been reported to do.”

Or “at the very least, though, you’d say to yourself: ‘Hang on. I don’t need to fly 6,500 miles to give this speech. Because apparently there’s been a remarkable new technological breakthrough known as the ‘video call’. So, to demonstrate my selfless commitment to saving the planet, I’ll use it to give my speech from home’.”

But “Harry, however, didn’t do this,” Mr Deacon pointed out. “Which suggests to me that he simply has no idea how daft he looks.”

Mr Deacon even concluded the piece by adding, “Poor chap. He’s clearly in need of a good adviser. If you’re reading this, Your Highness, I’d be happy to offer my services. Shall I hop on the next flight to LA?”
