Another Duchess dilemma! Meghan Markle is in extremely hot water with fans after the seven-months-pregnant royal’s bougie trip to NYC in late February.
Her recent rendezvous and private jet from England to America — which allegedly cost $125,00 each way! — has promoted accusations of “hypocrisy” considering her anti-poverty campaign and Prince Harry’s climate change initiative.

A Friends of the Earth spokesman told
Daily Mail, “Private air travel obviously comes with a huge carbon footprint. Perhaps for future trips the Duchess could consider less carbon intensive modes of travel. We invite her to set a good climate trend by flying less.”

One Twitter user tweeted about Meghan’s choice to take a private plane rather taking a commercial flight. “Meghan and Harry are being billed as Humanitarians. They are Patrons of charities for the disadvantaged. The obscene cost of this five-day trip is utter hypocrisy. Not to mention the carbon footprint of taking a private jet,” one wrote.

Her flight comes a few months after Harry preached climate control in Australia. “It is going to take every single one of us to stop the clock on the destruction of our planet, and time is not on our side. The standard we walk past is the standard we accept,” he said at the time.

Meg’s Big Apple baby shower — hosted by her friend and tennis pro Serena Williams as well as George Clooney’s wife Amal Clooney — took place at the Penthouse Suite in the five-star Mark Hotel, which reportedly costs a whopping $75,000 per night, making it one of the most expensive hotel suites in the entire country!

But everyone calm down! Kensington Palace quickly confirmed that Meghan’s extravagant trip was privately funded, which means taxpayers did not pay for mini pre-baby vacation.
