Eco activists Prince Harry, Meghan pictured leaving private jet on way to gala giving sustainability award

Royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, two outspoken environmental activists, were photographed departing a private jet in New York City this week.

"There is a ticking clock to protect our planet — with climate change, the deterioration of our natural resources, endangerment of sacred wildlife, the impact of plastics and microplastics, and fossil fuel emissions, we are jeopardizing this beautiful place we call home — for ourselves and for future generations," the pair said in joint social media post in 2019. "Let’s save it. Let’s do our part." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

In a separate statement at the time, Prince Harry lamented that environmental destruction has been treated as "a necessary by-product of economic growth."
