It takes a lot to surprise Mr S these days but the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have indeed managed it. The carbon-splurging duo must have been reading Steerpike’s musings on their eco-hypocrisy after appearing to (temporarily, at least) junk their love of private jets. The recalcitrant royals were reportedly spotted sneaking into a commercial airliner to Los Angeles following their recent ‘tour’ of New York, judging by a picture shared by a fellow passenger on social media that appeared to show Harry in a suit and face mask disembarking from the plane. The over-excited American gushed that: 

Ok this might sound unbelievable and I couldn’t get a good picture and I get you can say this could literally be anyone….BUT….Prince Harry and Meghan were on our flight to LA last night! We were held up for about 20 minutes from our departure time and they were snuck into the last 2 seats. We didn’t even know until a girl waiting to get off the plane next to us pointed them out.
