Prince Harry, 36, and Meghan Markle, 39, were spotted getting into “as far from eco-friendly as possible” in July despite their views on environmental issues. The car has been labelled by the Environmental Transport Association as one of the 10 worst cars for the planet.

Royal expert Angela Levin hit out at the royal couple for not abiding by their own rules.

“But they make themselves out to be so special that they don’t have to abide by these things but they can tell us all what we have to do and how we have to do it.”

PR guru Mark Borkowski said last night: “It doesn’t look good. When things like this occur.
“They should look to Greta Thunberg. She is clearly more astute about public image than this couple of A-listers seem to be.
“It just takes some common sense and their PR advisers should be sitting down with them right now to explain how bad this looks.”
