From Breitbart:
Prince Harry and the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle used a special fleet of Range Rovers shipped from the UK to carry them and their travelling Scotland Yard police escorts on their current 10-day trip to South Africa.
The Times reports the special 4x4s were drafted in for the climate campaigners because organisers behind the Royal visit were unable to locally obtain cars suitable for Harry, Meghan and baby Archie.
It is understood the fleet for the trip were offered by Jaguar Land Rover, who has provided vehicles for the Royal family all over the world for decades, and were transported at no cost to the taxpayer.
The cars included five Land Rover Discoverys as police back-up vehicles as well as the couple’s Range Rover, which they use at home. All the vehicles have been a common feature of the tour and seen in backdrops for pictorial coverage of their events.
A royal source told the Times: “On this visit it was not possible to obtain enough cars, or cars with extra security features, locally, although this was attempted. Jaguar Land Rover kindly offered to bring cars from the UK to support the visit, at no cost to the taxpayer.”
The travelling demands of being a Royal tourist while maintaining a concern for the environment has been a narrow path for Prince Harry and Meghan to negotiate.
I don’t know who made this decision and I’ve no doubt it was all good promotion for Jaguar Land Rover.
But were there really no suitable cars available locally? I find that very hard to believe.
If Prince Harry is serious about climate change, he really does need to get a grip on things like this.
