In the heart of Austin, Texas, the Grand Prix of the United States took center stage, and adding a touch of royal glamour to the high-speed affair was none other than the Duke of Sussex, Prince Harry himself. Sporting a sleek black polo shirt and stylish Oliver Peoples sunglasses, the 39-year-old royal went behind the scenes, engaging with the powerhouse racing teams, including Mercedes and Red Bull. For a moment, it felt like the racetrack was transformed into a royal runway.

The Duke, a known racing enthusiast who once raced go-karts against grand prix winner Johnny Herbert, animatedly chatted with the teams, bringing his own brand of charm to the paddock. As anticipation builds for the Circuit of the Americas event, where racing heavyweights Lando Norris and Lewis Hamilton are gearing up to challenge the formidable Max Verstappen, Prince Harry’s presence adds an extra layer of excitement.

However, the royal spotlight hasn’t been limited to the racetrack. Recent headlines have been buzzing about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s journey back to the US after a trip to the island of Canouan in the Grenadines. What caught the public’s attention wasn’t just their return but the mode of travel – a private jet. This choice raised eyebrows as it seemed to contradict the couple’s previous stance on climate change and environmental responsibility.

The Sussexes, who have been vocal advocates for environmental causes, spoke at a conference discussing the impact of climate change on mental health just days before their private jet journey. The apparent contradiction between their words and actions has ignited a debate about the couple’s commitment to their green credentials.

This isn’t the first time the royal couple has faced scrutiny over their choice of transportation. Back in 2019, Prince Harry and Meghan were criticized for taking four private jet flights in just 11 days, including one to Sir Elton John’s home in Nice. Private flights are known to emit more fuel per passenger than their commercial counterparts, sparking concerns about the couple’s carbon footprint.

In defense of their recent journey, a source close to Prince Harry mentioned that the private jet belonged to a friend who owns property on Canouan. The source also stated that the couple had used a commercial flight for the mental health summit in New York, showcasing a mix of travel choices.

As Prince Harry enjoys the adrenaline of the Grand Prix, the controversy surrounding the couple’s travel choices adds an intriguing layer to the royal narrative. The racing track isn’t the only place where the Duke is making headlines; the royal couple’s actions are once again under the public’s watchful eye.

Amidst the racing glamour, other celebrities made appearances at the F1 Academy race. Chloe Grace Moretz waved the checkered flag, and Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore was spotted in pit row at the Circuit of The Americas. Barrymore even took part in Red Bull Racing’s pit stop practice, donning an Oracle/Red Bull Racing fire suit during her time in the pit.

The on-track action saw Red Bull’s triple Formula One world champion Max Verstappen clinching victory in a U.S. Grand Prix sprint race, extending his lead in the championship. As the main event at the Texas track approaches, with Charles Leclerc starting on pole position, the racing excitement continues to build.

In the world of the rich and famous, where the thrill of the racetrack meets the controversies of royal travel, Prince Harry stands as a unique blend of both. The Duke’s presence adds a touch of royalty to the racing scene, while the debate around the couple’s travel choices sparks discussions on their environmental commitments.
