ECO-WARRIOR Prince Harry flew 750 miles to a polo game on a £45m private jet – with photos revealing the luxury 20-seater aircraft.
The Duke landed in Santa Barbara after taking his millionaire pal’s luxury private jet home — just months after lecturing the world about climate change.
The woke royal, 36, boarded the 20-seater £45million plane from a polo match in Aspen, Colorado, to his 18,671-square-foot mega-mansion in Santa Barbara, California, on Thursday.
He took the two-hour flight from Aspen, Colorado, to Santa Barbara, California, to rejoin wife Meghan and their two children at their mansion in Montecito.
The £45million Gulfstream jet is understood to belong to one of Harry’s polo pals, US businessman Marc Ganzi.
Last night, royal author Tom Quinn said: “This appears to be enormously hypocritical, given all his talk about climate change.
“Harry seems to see himself as someone who guides the rest of the world and that his own behaviour isn’t relevant. It is a huge blind spot.”
The Duke has faced repeated criticism for using emission-belching private flights — while preaching on the effects of climate change.
In 2019, The Sun revealed that he and Meghan, 40, had taken six of ten round trips on private jets since getting married the previous year.
But Harry has continued to lecture others about the environment.
In May, speaking to Oprah Winfrey for an Apple+ TV series, he said: "I believe even more that climate change and mental health are two of the most pressing issues that we’re facing."

He also spoke of the grim dangers of climate change, adding: “With kids growing up in today’s world, pretty depressing, right, depending on where you live, your home country is either on fire, it’s either underwater, houses or forests are being flattened.”
The prince has previously defended his use of private jets and insisted that 99 per cent of his air travel is via commercial flights.
In 2019, he claimed he tried to balance out the effects of private flights by off-setting his CO2 emissions.
Harry made a surprise appearance on Thursday at the polo event for his charity Sentebale, which helps children affected by HIV in Africa.
It is unclear whether Florida based millionaire Mr Ganzi was at the tournament.
Representatives for Harry and Mr Ganzi were contacted for comment.
